Can I just add something? I just want to make sure that one of the statements you made gets full appreciation.
For most of the first-degree life offenders with 25-year parole eligibility, the average amount of time they stay inside with us is about 28 years before they get parole, so a couple of years after their 25-year parole eligibility date. However, under this bill if somebody were to get life with a 40-year parole eligibility, I would actually have them physically taking up space for another 12 years before they're eligible. Although the sentence isn't longer, the period of time that they're incarcerated and taking up a cell is longer.
