    New state law allows incarcerated people to get time off for earning an associate’s degree

    A new Louisiana law allows incarcerated individuals to earn 90 days of 'good time' credit for obtaining an associate’s degree from an approved university, effective August 1. The law excludes those convicted of sex or violent crimes, similar to a 2021 law offering sentence reductions for bachelor’s or master’s degrees. Charles Amos, who earned a bachelor’s degree in prison, exemplifies the educational opportunities that may lead to sentence commutations.
