Senate bills move through committee on offender credits
The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee backed bills to deny good behavior credits to child sexual offenders, while allowing murderers to earn credits. Inmates could earn up to 20 percent off sentences for good behavior, education, and work in prison factories. Critics called it unfair to target child offenders while others remain eligible. The panel approved two additional measures addressing violent offenders and drug free zones near child day care centers. Several related proposals tied to the Frederick boy's death moved through the General Assembly, with some advancing and others dying in committee.
