Pennsylvania has the second-highest percentage of residents on probation or parole in the country. The state’s prison population has increased by approximately 850% over the last 40 years at a cost of $2.4 billion annually to taxpayers. Georgia is the national leader.

The legislation has widespread bipartisan support in the House, as well as bipartisan advocate support, including groups such as REFORM Alliance, The Commonwealth Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, #cut50, Justice Action Network, Families Against Mandatory Minimums and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry.
