Goals
- looking ahead in Arizona, ROC will focus on returning discretion to the judiciary by again prioritizing the Arizona Judicial Discretion/Safety Valve Act to combat mandatory sentencing schemes.
- In addition, efforts will be made to improve and increase re-entry opportunities and programs for those being released from prisons after serving a sentence.
- We will also work towards implementing an earned release system that was eliminated by Truth in Sentencing, enabling certain inmates to work towards good time credits that will reduce their time behind bars.
