This bill repeals
the requirement for nonconcurrent sentences when a person is convicted of a
crime committed while the person is serving their sentence on another
conviction, reducing the amount of time individuals will be incarcerated and
decreasing correctional costs. The amount of savings realized as a result of
this bill will depend on how many individuals are sentenced to concurrent
sentences. The current average cost of incarcerating an individual for one
day in a correctional facility is $151.24, totaling $55,203 per year. |
