Good time restored plan sparks corrections debate in Arizona
Ron Taylor proposes reinstating good time at the Arizona State Prison and creating a governor appointed corrections board. The plan mirrors Texas laws, cuts 20 days from a 30 day work period, grants up to 80 extra days for state approved work, with no time for serious mis conduct. Lawmakers question the abolition of good time and its impact on sentencing.
