Q: Can my gf file for a discretionary release, ARS 31-411 and how would she request it? 13 yrs for theft in AZ.
She has served almost 4yrs on a trafficking stolen goods charge for a nail gun taken to a pawn shop. She currently has a release date in 2027 with credits to move that up into Dec 2026. She is low risk, works offsite daily and no write ups. She was given the max 13yrs (2031) because she did have a prior past. record. She kept appealing that and was reduced to 2027. She has a 8 year old daughter that her mom is having to raise. We saw the Discretionary release ARS 31-411 and wondered if that's something she could file for to get a early release. She had a court appointed lawyer at her sentencing. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
