AI Summary
This bill revises provisions of the Criminal Punishment Code and the Department of Corrections' gain-time system. It amends the code to require that a prisoner serve at least 65% of their sentence for non-violent felonies and at least 85% of their sentence for other felonies before becoming eligible for release through gain-time or other sentence reductions, with some exceptions for life sentences. The bill also modifies the rate at which the Department of Corrections can grant incentive gain-time to prisoners, capping it at 20 days per month in most cases.
