Allows courts to modify sentences for juvenile offenders who have served at least 15 years.
This bill allows courts to modify the sentences of juvenile offenders who have served at least 15 years in prison for offenses committed before they turned 18. The court can reduce the sentence if it finds the offender is not a danger to the community and the modification is in the interests of justice. The court must consider factors such as the nature of the offense, the offender's history and characteristics, and their behavior in prison. The offender must serve at least three years of supervised release after any sentence reduction.
