QUESTION:
Does California’s new law prop 57 apply to lifers with the possibility of parole, eligible to receive good time credits? My husband is currently serving 15 years to life. I have read prop 57 but its still somewhat confusing.
ANSWER:
If he is serving time on a non-violent felony, then Prop 57 will most likely make him parole-eligible earlier. I think there are permutations of PC 2600 with a 186.22 enhancement that can result in a sentence of 15-years-to-life on a non-violent offense.
