## Resource

Louisiana just made history with Act 28, letting incarcerated folks earn 90 days off their sentence for earning an associate’s degree — a move designed to boost rehabilitation, especially for non-violent offenders. While bachelor’s degrees got credit before, this new law targets those more likely to benefit from two-year programs. Advocates say it’s a practical, life-changing step — and lawmakers gave it unanimous approval. Now the real test: does education actually reduce recidivism?
