IF YOU HAD THE POWER TO CHANGE THE LAW, WHAT LAW(S) WOULD YOU CHANGE ? WHY?

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS AN ACTUAL LAW BUT I HEARD THAT EVERY INMATE WITH AN "L" AT THE END OF THEIR SENTENCE IS NOT GETTING OUT. MY DAD GOT A SENTENCE OF FIFTEEN TO LIFE. HE HAS ALREADY SERVED HIS FIFTEEN BUT IS BEING DENIED PAROLE. I BELEIVE THAT IF HE WAS TO GET OUT HE WOULD NOT MESS UP. I BELIEVE HE IS A DIFFERENT PERSON. I WOULD CHANGE THE LAW TO IF YOU SERVED ALL YOUR TIME AND HAVN'T GOTTEN IN ANY TROUBLE, AND YOU ARE A TRULY DIFFERENT PERSON THAN YOU SHOULD GET A SECOND CHANCE.

This is interesting, and I tend to agree with you. If prison is meant to punish and reform criminals, then we should free prisoners when they have completed their punishment. If we think they should be punished further, we should do it up front.
