Mandatory 85% sentencing rule; repeal.
HB 110 would repeal a Mississippi law that limited inmates sentenced after June 30, 1995, to earning no more than 15% of their sentence off through good behavior ("earned time"). This bill directly affects those inmates by removing the 15% cap, allowing them to earn more time off their sentences based on conduct. The key mechanism is simply eliminating the existing restriction, meaning inmates could potentially earn up to 4.5 days off for every 30 days served if they met good conduct requirements. The bill did not create new rules but removed a specific limitation on earned time. (Note: The bill died in committee and was never enacted.)
