A Major Reason Why We Must Remove ALL Liberal Elected Officials In Maryland

The following information is the most incredible bill proposal I've ever seen in my 13 years of running Salisbury News.

One of the main reasons why I continue to go after our local and state Main Stream Media is because YOU NEVER get to hear about these incredible bills in advance. These news organizations are stacked with reporters, (or should I say actors) who only publish what is fed to them.

This is a very dangerous curve in America any more these days because there is NO accountability and I say this is absolutely on purpose. 

The information below is only a small portion of HB1312. Might I add, if you click on that link and attempt to read this 85+ page bill, unless you know more information you'll never understand what it is all about.

It is high time Miller and Busch are removed from leadership. That goes for all of the other LIBERALS too soft on criminals and quite frankly Maryland, (should this pass) will be the greatest state in AMERICA to become a criminal.

If you don't understand portions of what I have provided don't hesitate to let me know in comments and I will attempt to clarify your questions.

I understand this is a long Post, get over it. IF you care about your Maryland, you'll take the time to read it in full and make an immediate change in the next election. 

Page 1- overview of this bill. (Only certain cases and certain inmates are going to be supervised? Decreasing the sentences against those convicted of drug manufacturing and distribution, I thought we were in the middle of a heroine epidemic. Would it be wise to let more dealers out and minimize their sentences? Expanding the earned compliancy credit, so reducing the sentence that a judge imposed and increasing the amount of these credits.  The highlighted sections are some of the key points.)

Justice Reinvestment Act

3 FOR the purpose of requiring the Division of Parole and Probation to conduct a certain risk

4 and needs assessment on certain inmates and include the results in certain case

5 records; establishing requirements for a certain case plan; requiring the Division of

6 Correction to have a certain study conducted at certain intervals on a certain

7 assessment tool for a certain purpose; increasing a certain monthly deduction

8 allowed to an inmate of a State correctional facility whose term of confinement

9 includes a certain sentence for a certain crime of manufacturing, distributing,

10 dispensing, or possessing a controlled dangerous substance; increasing the

11 maximum monthly deductions allowed to an inmate of a State correctional facility

12 for manifesting satisfactory progress in certain work projects or programs;

13 increasing the maximum number of diminution credits that an inmate of a State

14 correctional facility may earn in a month; requiring the Division of Parole and

15 Probation to administer a certain risk and needs assessment on a certain supervised

16 individual; requiring the Division of Parole and Probation to supervise a certain

17 individual based on the results of a certain risk and needs assessment; requiring the

18 Division of Parole and Probation to develop an individualized case plan for each

19 individual with a certain assessment; requiring the Division of Parole and Probation

20 to modify the conditions of probation or suspension of sentence for the purpose of

21 imposing certain graduated sanctions; requiring the Division of Parole and Probation

22 to report to the court on certain graduated sanctions imposed under certain

23 circumstances; expanding eligibility for certain earned compliance credits to a person

24 incarcerated, on probation, or convicted in this State for violation of certain

25 prohibitions relating to manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possessing a

26 controlled dangerous substance; requiring the Maryland Parole Commission or the

27 court to adjust the period of a certain supervised individual’s supervision on a certain

28 recommendation for earned compliance credits accrued under a certain program;

29 requiring the Division of Parole and Probation to transfer a certain individual to a

30 certain abatement status under certain circumstances; requiring the Division of

31 Parole and Probation to inform a certain supervised individual of a certain transfer

Page 2 – (a certificate of rehabilitation? Does this mean they have completed their sentence and are completely rehabilitated from a life a crime? Do agents and correctional officers have that power over free will? Is this to absolve the offender of all of their sins?)


requiring the Division of Parole and Probation to issue a

24 certificate of rehabilitation to a certain individual; providing that a certificate of

25 rehabilitation precludes a licensing board from disqualifying an applicant from

26 professional or occupational licensure or certification because of a certain criminal

27 conviction; providing that an individual may receive only one certificate of

28 rehabilitation under certain circumstances

Page 8 – 10 (deduction of days of confinement of a sentence. 10 days a month and an additional 20 days a month for satisfactory progress in any programs. So up to a total of 30 days a month good time credit for an offender, except those convicted of felony drug dealing and sex crimes.)

An inmate shall be allowed a deduction in advance from the inmate’s term of confinement.

(b) (1) The deduction allowed under subsection (a) of this section shall be calculated:

 (i) from the first day of commitment to the custody of the Commissioner through the last day of the inmate’s term of confinement;

(ii) except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, at the rate of 10 days for each calendar month; and 

(iii) on a prorated basis for any portion of a calendar month.(a) (1) [In] EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN 

PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS SUBSECTION, IN addition to any other deductions allowed under this subtitle, an inmate may be allowed a deduction of up to [10] 20 days from the inmate’s term of confinement for each calendar month during which the inmate manifests satisfactory progress in those special selected work projects or other special programs, INCLUDING RECIDIVISM REDUCTION PROGRAMMING, designated by the Commissioner and approved by the Secretary.

(This equals a total of 30 days, every month. So it’s equivalent to cutting a criminal’s sentence in half, if they do what they are supposed to do while in jail. Doesn’t this under mind the sentence the Judge imposed? What about the victims? Is this fair to them?)

Pg 10

Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, an inmate may not be allowed a deduction under this subtitle of more than [20]:

(1) 20 DAYS FOR A CALENDAR MONTH FOR AN INMATE DESCRIBED IN

7 § 3–707(A)(2) OF THIS SUBTITLE; AND

 (2) 30 days for a calendar month FOR ALL OTHER INMATES.

Pg 11 – (Officers are to focus all of their attention on moderate and high cases only, how about the criminals of non-violent offenses, is it ok for them to steal from other people or create more victims because they’re not considered high risk because they haven’t been convicted of “crimes of violence” yet? 

Wasn’t the offender from Salisbury who killed the Florida Deputy considered a low risk? Or how about the guy who killed the two deputies in Harford County? His criminal history wouldn’t place him as high risk. Is the habitual drunk driver a high risk?)

Subject to the authority of the Secretary and in addition to any other duties established by law, the Division:

 (1) shall: (I) ADMINISTER A RISK AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT ON EACH INDIVIDUAL ON PAROLE OR MANDATORY SUPERVISION UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE DIVISION;

(II) DEVELOP AN INDIVIDUALIZED CASE PLAN FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ON PAROLE OR MANDATORY 

SUPERVISION WHO HAS BEEN ASSESSED AS MODERATE OR HIGH RISK TO REOFFEND

Pg 18certificate of rehabilitation.

THE DEPARTMENT SHALL ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF REHABILITATION TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO:

(1) WAS CONVICTED OF A MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY THAT IS NOT:

 (I) A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, AS DEFINED IN § 14–101 OF THE CRIMINAL LAW ARTICLE; OR

 (II) A SEXUAL OFFENSE FOR WHICH REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED UNDER TITLE 11, SUBTITLE 7 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ARTICLE;

(2) WAS SUPERVISED BY THE DIVISION OF PAROLE AND PROBATION UNDER CONDITIONS OF:

 (I) PAROLE;

(II) PROBATION; OR

 (III) MANDATORY RELEASE SUPERVISION;

 (3) HAS COMPLETED ALL SPECIAL AND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION, INCLUDING PAYING ALL REQUIRED RESTITUTION, FINES, FEES, AND OTHER PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS; AND

(4) IS NO LONGER UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE DIVISION OF PAROLE AND PROBATION.

 (B) A CERTIFICATE OF REHABILITATION PRECLUDES A LICENSING BOARD FROM DISQUALIFYING AN APPLICANT FROM PROFESSIONAL OR OCCUPATIONAL LICENSURE OR CERTIFICATION BECAUSE OF THE 

UNDERLYING CRIMINAL CONVICTION.

 Pg 20 (eligibility for parole now after only serving ¼ of their sentence.)

Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Commission shall request that the Division of Parole and Probation make an investigation for inmates in a local correctional facility and the Division of Correction make an investigation for inmates in a State correctional facility that will enable the Commission to determine the advisability of granting parole to an inmate who:

(i) has been sentenced under the laws of the State to serve a term of 6 months or more in a correctional facility; and (ii) has served in confinement one–fourth of the inmate’s aggregate sentence.

An inmate may be released on parole at any time in order to undergo drug or alcohol treatment, mental health treatment, or to participate in a residential program of treatment in the best interest of an inmate’s expected or newborn child if the inmate:

Pg 27 – (new proposal of the length of time someone can be sentenced to for violation of parole or probation.  So a criminal can abscond, stop reporting to their agent, go to another state, be in possession of a dangerous weapon, not pay their restitution to the victims, not attend and complete any required treatment programs and they would have to be violated 4 times before their probation/parole could be completely revoked and the criminal have to serve his entire sentence. Isn’t probation and parole a privilege?)

IF AN ORDER OF PAROLE IS REVOKED DUE TO A TECHNICAL VIOLATION, AS DEFINED IN § 6–101 OF THIS 

ARTICLE, THE COMMISSIONER HEARING THE PAROLE REVOCATION MAY REQUIRE THE INDIVIDUAL TO SERVE A PERIOD OF IMPRISONMENT OF:

 (I) FOR A FIRST VIOLATION, NOT MORE THAN 15 DAYS;

 (II) FOR A SECOND VIOLATION, NOT MORE THAN 30 DAYS; AND

 (III) FOR A THIRD VIOLATION, NOT MORE THAN 45 DAYS.

“TECHNICAL VIOLATION” MEANS A VIOLATION OF A CONDITION OF PROBATION, PAROLE, OR MANDATORY SUPERVISION THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE:

 (1) AN ARREST;

 (2) A CONVICTION; OR

 (3) A VIOLATION OF A NO–CONTACT ORDER.

Pg  45 – 46 (increasing the amounts of CDS and lowering the minimum mandatory sentences.)

Pg 48 – 49 (increase in amount that has to be stolen and decrease in sentence for those convicted of theft. The time or amount in the [ ] is what it is now, the proposed changes are next to that. Is that inflation for criminals?)

A person convicted of theft of property or services with a value of:

(i) at least [$1,000] $2,000 but less than [$10,000] $25,000 is guilty of a felony and:

 1. is subject to imprisonment not exceeding [10] 5 years or a fine not exceeding $10,000 or both; and

Except as provided in [paragraphs (3) and (4)] PARAGRAPH (3) of this subsection, a person convicted of theft of property or services with a value of AT LEAST  $100 BUT less than [$1,000] $2,000, is guilty of a misdemeanor and:  (i) is subject to imprisonment not exceeding [18] 12 months or a fine  not exceeding $500 or both; and  (ii) shall restore the property taken to the owner or pay the owner  the value of the property or services.

Pgs 51- 53 (increases the amount of goods, services,  and/or  credit card fraud that has to be lost before considered a felony and the sentences for these crimes are decreased.)

Pgs 61-63 (you have to be convicted of 4 separate crimes of violence before you can get life imprisonment without parole. If you have been convicted of two previous crimes of violence, on the 3rd, you can be sentenced to no less than 25 years. I’m speechless! look at 14-101 below….)

14–101.

(1) abduction;

 (2) arson in the first degree;

(3) kidnapping;

(4) manslaughter, except involuntary manslaughter;

(ii) the offense involved: 1. vaginal intercourse, as defined in § 3–301 of this article; 2. a sexual act, as  defined in § 3–301 of this article; 3. an act in which a part of the offender’s body penetrates, however slightly, into the victim’s genital opening or anus; or 4. the intentional touching, not through the clothing, of the victim’s or the offender’s genital, anal, or other intimate area for sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse;

 (17) an attempt to commit any of the crimes described in items (1) through (16) of this subsection;

Except as provided in subsection (f) of this section, on conviction for a  third time of a crime of violence, a person shall be sentenced to imprisonment for the term  allowed by law but not less than 25 years, if the person:

Pgs 65-66 (limiting the sentencing Judge’s power to revoked probation and sentence to their remaining sentence of jail time.)

1. NOT MORE THAN 15 DAYS FOR A FIRST TECHNICAL VIOLATION

3. NOT MORE THAN 45 DAYS FOR A THIRD TECHNICAL VIOLATION; AND

(II) FOR A FOURTH OR SUBSEQUENT TECHNICAL VIOLATION OR A VIOLATION THAT IS NOT A TECHNICAL VIOLATION, impose any sentence that might have originally been imposed for the crime of which the probationer or defendant was convicted or pleaded nolo contendere.

Pg 69 (the court can order unarmed probation agents and police to play taxi service, and take them to and from treatment. With agents having 150 – 200 active cases to supervise, how is this supposed to be done? Especially since the last two probation and parole agents academies have been cancelled and there is no date for any to being this year.)

A court may order law enforcement officials, detention center staff,  Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services staff, or sheriff’s department staff  within the appropriate local jurisdiction to transport a defendant to and from treatment  under this section.

Publisher: While there is much more, I believe we have touched on most of the important matters within this Bill. I hope you'll agree, this is CRAZY! There is NO compromising in ANY portion of this Bill. We need tougher sentences on crime, not softer. 

Please contact ALL of your Legislators and tell them, HELL NO to this Bill.  

The first reading of this Bill is March 4th, 2016.

  3. 10:21, Let me let you in on a little, (big) secret.

    Physicians get punished for NOT putting out such prescriptions as often.

    I had another appointment in three days. I received a prescription for THIRTY pills, even after I said I didn't want anything more then the 3 days. They do hand it out like candy and it needs to be better regulated and controlled.

  9. A bit off topic but relates to how everyone complains about ECI and how it brings criminals to the area. Tia Johnson is about to be released for the Women's Correctional faculty in Jessup. She served approx 4 yrs out of a 7 1/2 sentence. She will return home to Wicomico county. Waiting for her in Eden is her female lover she met while in prison who was released before her. Cynthia Marie Minnick a convicted rapist who is on the MD sexual offender registry!

  10. The 40 year "war on drugs" has been an utter failure. Time (way past time, actually) to try something else. If locking them up and it only gets worse, then locking them up isn't working. Need a new approach if we are ever going to reduce the amount of addicts. Locking up dealers doesn't put a dent in the problem of addicts and related crime. with the prisons full of dealers, the problem of addiction should be getting better, not worse. That's the proof that locking up dealers is not a solution.

  14. 12:16: You missed the whole point. Locking up dealers and users has done nothing to reduce addiction and the crimes related to addiction. The problem has only increased as we lock up more and more people. Prohibition (look it up) was proof that you couldn't just lock everybody up to reduce consumption and addition to illicit substances. It is obvious that I am saying to try something else. And yes, it means don't "bother" to arrest and prosecute, if it does no good, but do something else. Legalize, regulate, tax, educate, and rehabilitate. The alcohol "problem" did not go away with the repeal of prohibition, but it did change the approach to how government deals with alcohol consumption and abuse. Alcoholism is a disease, not a crime. Wise up. The drug problem can be managed, just like alcohol. Again, locking everyone up is not the answer and clearly doesn't work, as the problem continues to grow. It is time for another approach. We should have never forgotten the lessons from the prohibition era. This "war on drugs" was tricky Dick's idea, and it is over 40 years now and nothing is any better, only worse than ever. Your support of locking everyone up is passe and is a failed policy.

    It's all about keeping black thugs and crackheads out of jail.

    Look what Obama did when he hand picked some black thugs that he wanted out of jail and let them go.

    Look what Mark Thompson is doing in Wicomico County Public Schools. His job is to go around to the teachers and principals and educate them on how to quit send them to the principals office. No more black kids are to be sent to the office but you can send all the white kids that you want. That's a fact Jack.

  24. If you want to see what it's like in Prisons. Go to MSNBC on weekends and watch "Locked Up." There producers went to many state Pens and went inside and filmed the inmates. It will make you sick to see what kind of people we have to support in jail. If you started watching those shows you would know that these thugs belong on the inside of those jails and not the outside.

    Look what happened in Baltimore City. Those prisoners ran that jail and no one did anything about it until Governor Hogan took office.

    You a a freaking idiot. This has nothing to do with physicians and no one is forcing anyone to take those medications. Did Joke take all the ones prescribed? I doubt it and I wouldn't have either because I know better. I always dispose of the meds I don't need. You can't bring them back and trade them in.

  27. I'd like to see them address the mandatory sentencing guidelines and start looking at drug abuse as a public health issue as well as a criminal one. I'm not sure this bill is the answer. I wish they'd stop writing these huge multi-issue bills that are a bear to get passed and/or changed.

    NO YOU IDIOT YOU MISSED THE POINT!!!! I am not 12:16 buy you just don't get it. You run you mouth about jail doesn't work, but yet you offer no solution. Of course jail does work but you are to stupid to see it. When a druggie is locked up they can't do drugs. When a dealer is locked up they can't sell more drugs.

    I am an advocate for more jail time and more HARD TIME!! Lock them up and throw away the key. If they knew they were going away for a long time they would think twice about taking drugs of selling. Especially if they took all the luxuries away from them. No more good food and no more TV time. Let them stay in their cells 24 hours a day or let them go out in chain gangs and bust rocks all day. Do away with the Commission on Correctional Standards. Do away with anything nice. I don't care if the jails are cock roach infested or infested with mice. Criminals and thugs don't deserve to be treated good. They didn't treat their victims nicely!! Another thing, stop letting them get a college education and take away their weight lifting.

    Legalizing Marijuana was the first step and guess what Joe you were all over that and you thought it was a great idea.

    Legalizing Marijuana was the first step and now lighter sentences and less fines for Crack Heads. I tried to warn you.

  36. Obviously a Libtard spewing their drivel. Of course locking them up works. They just need hard time added on. Put them on the chain gangs. Long overdue. Hopefully they will send you butt to jail soon as well.

    I bet you voted for Obama didn't you!!

  37. NO YOU IDIOT YOU MISSED THE POINT!!!! I am not 12:16 buy you just don't get it. You run you mouth about jail doesn't work, but yet you offer no solution. Of course jail does work but you are to stupid to see it. When a druggie is locked up they can't do drugs. When a dealer is locked up they can't sell more drugs.

    I am an advocate for more jail time and more HARD TIME!! Lock them up and throw away the key. If they knew they were going away for a long time they would think twice about taking drugs of selling. Especially if they took all the luxuries away from them. No more good food and no more TV time. Let them stay in their cells 24 hours a day or let them go out in chain gangs and bust rocks all day. Do away with the Commission on Correctional Standards. Do away with anything nice. I don't care if the jails are cock roach infested or infested with mice. Criminals and thugs don't deserve to be treated good. They didn't treat their victims nicely!! Another thing, stop letting them get a college education and take away their weight lifting.

    I'm not either one but YOU are the idiot. Jail does NOT work, and hasn't for a long time. Merely putting anyone in a cage for x amount of time without any rehabilitation or motivation to do better does NOTHING but keep them off the streets, only to be returned to the streets later and doing the SAME THINGS. If you don't think people can do drugs in jail you are even dumber than you appear.

    Your way of thinking is exactly what is part of the problem in the criminal justice system. And why recidivism is so high.

  39. No you moron. The problem is Montgomery County and PG County are loaded with BLACKS and Libtard Whitey's that control everything. There is much more Dem's in those counties than the rural counties combined. If The Eastern Shore for instance got 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 votes that would even things out.

    I really hope you are 12 years old. That's what you act like.

  42. 3:14 PM: Let me tell you how clueless your are, and how little you know about who the comments come from. I am the 11:52 AM poster. I am college educated with a Magna Cum Laude degree in Business administration. I am a staunch Republican conservative with an educated view of the problem. Only because you are such a clueless judge of a poster's character, and just so you understand (because you obviously can't figure it out), I did not vote for Obama. I don't know what a "libtard" is (other than a childish word), but I suppose you don't know how to spell "liberal".

    And how do you know that? Ha, Ha you don't. And I KNOW THAT. See, I know we are two different posters. You just make mindless statements. You should be in class, or did school get out early yesterday?

  45. I'm a little late , but I will chime in.
    2007 I was human resource director for a medical facility .
    A drug official took our entire company to the Roost for dinner.
    The guy purchased all of us tee shirts . I tried to figured what the cost was , around $5,000 would be close. Having said that , something stinks in the drug world.

  47. Name calling is resorted to commonly by Democrat/ liberals who cannot form a defense for their agendas.

    It's a commonly known fact.
