Last week, CPAC’s Nolan Center for Justice was in Lansing, Michigan supporting efforts to implement a system of productivity credits into the prison system in the state. Used as a tool to incentivize those in prison to become the best versions of themselves, productivity credits offer opportunities to earn earlier release to parole by completing programs and classes that are proven to reduce their future risk of reoffending. Consideration for parole includes input from victims and prosecutors, and is focused on ensuring people released from prison are prepared to work and live in a law-abiding manner. CPAC supports holding individuals accountable for their actions, while providing pathways to reassimilate into their communities and support themselves and their families. We look forward to continuing our work to implement this system of credits that will make Michigan a safer place to live.
