Victim Advocate Julie Jackson of the Alpena County Prosecutor’s Office weighs in on a proposed change to Michigan law that would allow prison inmates to earn time off of their sentences by good behavior.
ALPENA Earlier this month, an Alpena man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for leading a group of youths in robbing an Alpena home at gunpoint.
As of now, Justin Golder, 32, will serve every day of those 12 years behind bars.
A bill currently before the state Legislature wants to overturn Michigan’s “truth in sentencing” policy that says prison inmates can’t shorten their sentence by good behavior.
