That's what parole boards are for, and why lawmakers make laws.  If you don't agree with how things have been going, I would suggest looking into all the processes in how the system operates.  It'll take you years, but seriously, I think someone needs to do it.  The courts are clogged, the PDs and judges overworked, and we've recently had news about the problems at the DOC (and quite a few deaths).  One little band-aid isn't going to fix everything.
