did I miss something because after reading those articles I didnt see where any RE OFFENED! All I saw was that these kinds of inmates were released... And for those who keep thinking mgt will come back... Not happening sorry. We all want it but its not going to happen anytime soon. These meetings are by commities re wording the rules for "if" another program is to be brought to the table. Plus I do believe that commitee meeting was canceled. I firmly believe that no mgt/smgt will come back until Quinn is out of office. Im jus saying please accept that fact lol I feel like a scrooge! But ive done a whole lot of research on this subject and its just not going to happen anytime soon

That's my attitude exactly Skully...like I've said a few times before, my B and me live as if mgt never existed and will never exist, plain and simple. No expectations, no wishful thinking...he's being paroled in 2012 and is out the system in 2014, by which time it won't matter who the governor is anyway. I feel like a  too Skully, but it's just something we all have to accept. |

Oh def if it magically came back we'd both be beside ourselves with joy...and yeah, somewhere deep down inside I keep hoping it does happen as well. But it won't, so untill then we're still living like it never existed in the first place.

Yep they will be home before anything is in place. So only thing they can do is wait out their time and do well when they come home!

I just wish people would stop giving them false hope. My guy said his counselor visited him at his cell the other day and told him that they just got "unofficial" word from Springfield that mgt would be back in January 2012. I told him not to hold his breath!

There are no plans for MGT to be reinstated period. Legislation HB 3899 and HB 3900 has been introduced with hearing to be held sometime after leglislature comes back in January. If this legislation passes and Governor sign it then there will good time permitted again. The best way for good time to be allowed again is for family members and others to contact legislators and urge support of these bills as many are now doing. Forget the rumors the only reality for good time is these bills. |

Well this is my first time posting on this subject....and I'm NOT going to be a debbie-downer & kill anyone's faith, hopes, & wishes b/c who am I to do so. If ppl want to hold on to the faith & keep wishful thinking then let them...actually encourage them to b/c w/o it what else do you have to hold on to....For some of you ladies l/o mgt won't matter b/c they'll be home safe & sound to even have a concern regarding the bill..but I'm sure they have other inmates that they've gotten close to, friends other family members etc. that unfourtunately is & will be in need of such a program. My l/o has 6 more yrs to do & I/we personally don't even consider goodtime we just accept our time as it was given & continue moving through this difficult process the best we can, besides IM not even sure if goodtime does EVER came back that he would be eligible anyway. He has a class X...for a criminal drug conspirarcy, which I believe knocks him out the box anyway? Which is crazy to me b/c it's not murder or a sex offense etc...I'm not trying to justify or excuse his wrongs but dang..it's drugs why in the world is that a class X but that's niether here or there...it is what is and we've excepted that! But I do want to say to the ppl on here that still have that hope to hold on to it & don't allow anyone one to take that away from you! I wish all of the members on here the best & bright futures!  |

My husband said the same thing, this is coming from the counselors. Wish it was some way they could be accountable for the false information. Placing with peoples lives Rottie |

 This is what I wrote to my State Rep. Hello Mr. Derrick Smith, Happy Holidays to you and your family. I am writing to ask you to please support two new bulls that are trying to become law, that is bill 3899 and 3900. These bills will re-instate the Merit Good Time that our Gov. suspended a few years ago. My husband is in Logan Correctional Facility for driving on suspended license and would be home if the Gov. had not suspended the good time. He is ill and cannot get the proper attention. I agree that if you break the law that you should be punished, but I also say don't keep them caged up like animals. Logan is a minimal security prison, but there are housing 1940 when it should only hold 1500. I hope that you read and support this law so our loved ones can come home. Thank you in advance
