• Reclassify certain fourth and fifth degree drug possessions from felonies to misdemeanors;
• Require a series of responses for probation violations such as missing a meeting with a probation officer;
• Reward rehabilitation by allowing individuals in prison to earn credits to reduce their sentence by 25%; and
• Reinvest money saved from decarcerating prisons into drug treatment and recovery programs.
