Mississippi HB43 allows offenders on probation or parole to earn discharge credits by participating in faith-based activities.
Mississippi HB43 amends the Mississippi Code to allow offenders on probation or parole to earn discharge credits by participating in faith-based activities. Offenders can earn up to 40 hours per month, which translates to a five-day reduction in their supervision period per month. These credits apply to the sentence within 30 days of being earned. The Department of Corrections must notify offenders of their discharge date every six months. The act takes effect from July 1, 2026.
