"If it passes into law, then the ÔÇ£program shall allow eligible incarcerated individuals to gain not less than 60 and not more than 365 day reduction in the length of their committed sentenceÔÇØ. Along with the new program, a committee would be established composed of five members responsible for overseeing the scheme. The committee would also decide on eligibility standards for incarcerated individuals interested in the program and ÔÇ£the amount of bone marrow and organ(s) donated to earn oneÔÇÖs sentence to be commutedÔÇØ.
Currently, the US Federal Bureau of Prisons allows organ donations by inmates only if the recipient is a member of their immediate family, but many state prisons, including those in Massachusetts, have no pathway to organ or bone marrow donation."
