How Will the HB2270 Just Sentencing Law Benefit Arizona?
- Arizonans do not deserve to be punished more harshly than their neighbors for the same offenses. This modernization will bring Arizona in line with the policies of other states, including those with solidly Conservative leadership and states that share a border with Mexico.
- Just Sentencing will ensure that the punishment fits the crime, allowing those who pose little risk to the public to earn their way to release so that they can rejoin their families and contribute to the economy.
- Just Sentencing restores hope to incarcerated people, providing them with an incentive to take part in positive programming that will assist them in their transition.
- Just Sentencing will save Arizona taxpayers millions of dollars.
