Families of Prisoners Support Group
This community is dedicated to families that have been disrupted by prison. Having a loved one incarcerated or having been incarcerated comes with its own unique challenges that require support and understanding. Join the group to find others who know what you're going through, and to seek advice or share your experience.
To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide an alternate release date for certain nonviolent offenders, and for other purposes. That bill has not gone no where. It was only introduced in Jan and has made it to a few committees but that has been it. It will die at the end of this year. For State I am not sure. There should be a site you can go to and check the State legislation where your loved one is incarcerated at and see if they have a bill on the table. I know on the inside there has been lots of chit chat about a bill getting ready to pass but after many hours of researching and speaking to others I have not been able to find such. I hate to be one of no good news but I think it is all a rumor. Hope this gives you some insight. If I can help you research something just let me know.
You could also try Find Law, you can research there for free.

Sometimes if you pull up the courts the info will be there about what legislation is doing.
