Attorney General Post has prepared
an opinion on the commutation of SEN
tences of life convicts and when they
should begin to receive the benefits of
a good prison record. General Post
holds that the law of 1887, committing
a life convict's sentence to twenty-five
years, which was repealed two years
later, does not have any effect upon
those sentenced while the law was in
force. In regard 10 committing life
sentence General Post holds that
good prison record does not begin to
count in favor of a life convict upon
the day his sentence is committed, that
prior to that date he is legally dead
man; that the Communication gives him
a legal life.
