How a law could change in North Carolina

Legislative route. There is no statewide citizen initiative process, so changes go through the legislature.

Letter text

Dear [Legislator name],

I am a constituent in [city], North Carolina. My family has a loved one serving a prison sentence, and I am writing to ask you to support legislation that expands earned sentence credits for people who work, complete education and treatment programs, and follow the rules.

States including Oklahoma, Nevada, Colorado and Virginia have recently passed laws that reward rehabilitation with earned credits. These policies give people a concrete reason to prepare for life after release.

Would you support or sponsor a similar bill in North Carolina? I would welcome the chance to share my family's story.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
