Proposition 57 Credits Advocacy
We are working with other advocates fighting against a court order that currently prohibits CDCR from applying good conduct and programming credits to advance minimum eligible parole dates for people who are serving terms of life with the possibility of parole.
Our work includes:
Providing information and assistance to incarcerated people and their advocates about CDCR’s time credit policies and about possible ways to seek resentencing for people affected by the court order.
Supporting proposed legislation (Assembly Bill 622), including drafting a support letter and presenting testimony.
Submitting an amicus curiae brief supporting CDCR’s credit policies on appeal in CJLF v. CDCR, No. C100274. (oral argument set for May 20, 2025).
