Jennifer
Boysko (2022) writes an article addressing one of the budgeting issues facing a
state in the USA—Virginia. This post focuses on the expansion of the ESCs (Earned
Sentence Credits), which is a reform that is impacted by the amendments done to
the yearly budget of the region. The ESC reform is a measure that aims at
bettering the individuals sent to prison by allowing this population to make
progress and uncover new paths while deeply reflecting on and serving the
verdict for the mistakes committed (Boysko, 2022). Similar to workers in the
business industry, the earned sentence credits serve as incentives for
incarcerated people, whereby it motivates these individuals to have good conduct
and make progress since it might enable a reduction in one’s sentence. At least
1,000 families and people of Virginia have been depending on establishing the
reform as it is meaningful and beneficial (Boysko, 2022). Such a population
should prosper even after incarceration.
