SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Suspension or modification of sentence for cooperation with prosecution.  Provides that when a person has been sentenced for a felony to the Department of Corrections, the court that heard the case may, after a hearing upon motion of the Commonwealth, suspend all or part of the unserved portion of the person's sentence. This intends to accommodate a case where an inmate cooperates and testifies in the prosecution of another person.
