SUMMARY:Rally4GoodTime
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 20th as we Rally4GoodTime at the Michigan Capi
 tol Lawn!\nLet your lawmakers know you support Good Time!\n100 N Capitol A
 ve\, Lansing\, MI 48933\nMichigan is one of only two states in the union w
 hich observes 100% Truth In Sentencing (TIS)\nTIS is a policy that prevent
 s incarcerated people from relieving any length of their sentence through 
 good behavior\, vocational training\, programs\, or educational opportunit
 ies. This means that no matter how a person engages with officially-sponso
 red opportunities during their time inside\, they will serve the same mini
 mum sentences they were originally given.\nTogether\, sentencing guideline
 s and judicial practices mean people serving time in Michigan will serve p
 rison sentences that are\, on average\, 40% longer than others across the 
 country. This results in people serving 110% of their time.\nCurrently\, T
 IS creates a situation where people in prison feel they have "nothing to l
 ose." It drives up drug use\, suicides\, and disciplinary infractions. It 
 exacerbates feelings of hopelessness and despondency. It is dangerous to b
 oth the people who live in prison and the people who work there.\nIt's Tim
 e To Bring Back Good Time\nGood Time is an initiative that allows people t
 o earn time off their sentence\, rewards good behavior and program partici
 pation\, and makes a safer\, more purposeful prison environment. It suppor
 ts rehabilitation and reduces recidivism\, and will bring Michigan up to s
 peed with the rest of the country in terms of progress and opportunities.
