Meek Mill Proposes New Bill To Help Change the Probation System

Meek Mill is still definitely on his quest to fight for reform criminal justice. He wants to help change the way the probation system works, especially being a product of it. TMZ reports Meek, Van Jones, who is also the CEO of Reform Alliance and works with CNN, and Sixers' co-owner, Michael Rubin, are trying to get a new bill passed. There was a conference Tuesday where they proposed a new legislation to reform the state probation and parole system. The bill aims to prevent the courts from sentencing a person to consecutive probation sentences, prevent the court from extending a person's time on probation or parole due to nonpayment of fines and fees, plus establish a system of incentives that reward good behavior. Meek is hoping to push the House Bill 1925, which has bipartisan support and he hopes to change the statutes and laws.
