SB 2206 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Criminal sentencing review; authorize and establish procedure for.

SB 2206 would allow Mississippi courts to reduce prison sentences for eligible felony offenders who have served significant time. It sets specific criteria: defendants must have a 10+ year sentence (indeterminate or determinate), served at least one-third of it (or 8 years for consecutive sentences), not be serving a violent crime sentence, and not be at their minimum sentence. Judges reviewing requests must consider rehabilitation, public safety, and the defendant’s prison record, but cannot require waiver of this right in plea deals. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and never became law.
