MI HB6122

Removes the September 30, 2010 sunset date on section 34a of the Corrections Code, allowing the special alternative incarceration program to continue indefinitely rather than expire.

Permits prisoners sentenced to indeterminate terms to be considered for placement in special alternative incarceration units if they meet eligibility requirements including sentence length limits (24 months for burglary, 36 months for other crimes) and other criteria.

Requires the department to determine eligibility for prisoners committed on or after March 19, 1992 before they leave the reception center, though eligibility determination does not guarantee placement.

Establishes program conditions including validated risk and need assessments, community service provider interaction, discharge planning, and community follow-up services beginning September 30, 2008.

Requires prisoners completing the program to be placed on parole for at least 18 months or the balance of their minimum sentence (whichever is greater) with initial intensive supervision for at least 120 days.
