| 2 | Linda Goodman | I fully support a system of Earned Release. If a prisoner has substanially changed their life around and has demonstrated that they can return to society as a useful and productive citizen, unlikely to reoffend, it's only logical to allow that to happen. To continue to incarcerate the record number of inmates that IL does, over time we'll have prisons full of ill, elderly inmates. |

| 10 | Gayle Willard | Deserving, rehabiliitated inmates should be considered for release after serving an extended prison term. Illinois lawmakers have ignored the burgeoning prison population and archaic life imprisonment issue far too long. |
| 11 | Terry L Williams | I feel this is strongly needed. The men and women that have been in for over 25 years and have proved themselfs to be model prisoners need the chance to be released, and to continue a normal life with their families. |

| 14 | Candice Smith | Prisoners deserve a chance at getting a deacent life back . |
| 15 | Margaret DeFord | I absolutely believe that everyone deserves a chance to redetermine their life's direction. Punishment without the opportunity to self-correct is contemptible. |
| 16 | Lorretta Williams | I fully support this endeavor! |
| 17 | Kristi Hedger | |
| 18 | Judith Stuart | I support this fully.Provided this is conducted as a case by case system, which protects both the familyvictims and the prisoner, where prisoners are not willing or able to earn their release. The prisons are bulging at the seams now with more inmates added daily. So many inmates deserve the chance and are ready for release. They have grown into responsible,repentant people ,who with help can become useful citizens and be given the chance to earn their place in society again. |

| 23 | Patricia L. Mizura | I seriously and firmly believe in parole. Please bring it back. |
| 24 | Anonymous | I support to bring a system of earned release for inmates in Illinois. Why does a young inmate have to prove themselves to get a release when they can get help for themselves on the outside and continue a normal life with their families. |

| 27 | Pattilyn Beals | It is important that we allow families to remain intact and release inmates with extrodinarily long sentences. Too many innocent people are suffering. |
| 28 | Anonymous | Anyone can make a mistake, it's what we do to correct those mistakes, it's how an inmate lives up to their mistakes and what he does to earn his second chance to start their life again that counts. For those that have shown they indeed deserve to be considered for Earned Release, we should at least give them the chance. |

| 35 | Rosario Mojica | I strongly believe inmates who have made a complete turn around should be given a second chance. Older inmates who have been incarcerated more than 20 years are unlikely to re-offend. |
