New Jersey S4159 provides earned time credits to reduce parole eligibility for inmates participating in substance abuse treatment programs.

New Jersey S4159 amends the law to award inmates 1.5 times the number of commutation or good time credits they are entitled to during their participation in a full-time substance abuse treatment program. This additional credit aims to reduce the parole eligibility date for inmates who engage in these programs. The bill specifies that these credits are in addition to any other credits an inmate may receive under current law. The changes will take effect four months after the bill's enactment.
