Reading Books in Prison Could Lead to Sentence Reduction
Inmates serving an irrevocable sentence may have the opportunity to reduce their time behind bars by engaging in educational activities, according to a new proposed law discussed by the National Revival party. The draft law, aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of corrective measures for prisoners, suggests that inmates can demonstrate self-rehabilitation through education.
The idea is to encourage inmates to engage in reading as a means of self-improvement. Under the proposed law, inmates could reduce their sentence by 3 days for each book they read from an approved list and pass a designated exam. However, there is a limit of 10 books that can be read per year.
The list of approved books will be selected by the Republican Center of Spirituality and Enlightenment, ensuring that inmates have access to valuable and educational reading materials. This initiative aims to create a moral and educational environment within correctional institutions, fostering positive behavior among inmates.
By incentivizing reading and self-improvement, the draft law seeks to promote rehabilitation and personal growth among prisoners. This innovative approach could provide inmates with the opportunity to make positive changes in their lives and ultimately shorten their time in prison.
