Criminal sentencing review; authorize and establish procedure for.

SB 2083 would allow Mississippi courts to review and potentially reduce criminal sentences deemed unnecessarily harsh, primarily affecting inmates serving long felony sentences (10+ years) who have served at least one-third of their term and meet specific eligibility criteria (e.g., not currently serving a violent offense sentence). The bill establishes a process where defendants can file motions for sentence modification based on rehabilitation progress, medical conditions, and successful participation in prison programs, with courts required to consider public safety and reintegration. Crucially, it prohibits defendants from waiving this right in plea agreements and mandates that motions be reviewed by the original sentencing judge. The bill died in committee in 2026 and never became law.
