- La. law gives some inmates time off sentence if they complete associate’s degree
A new Louisiana law allows incarcerated individuals to earn 90 days of credit toward their parole supervision date by completing an associate’s degree, expanding an existing incentive for bachelor’s degrees. The law excludes violent and sex offenders, focusing on non-violent crimes like theft, fraud, or drug offenses.
