Louisiana sentencing

I have a question about Louisiana sentencing laws since they changed to the 85% law. I have a friend that is incarcerated. They keep hearing from the guards and other people that they're about to either be recalculating non-violent crimes that are less than 3 years, or that they're about to reinstate 35%.

I cant find anything saying that sentencing is doing anything other than remaining at 85%, but she keeps being told it's on the D.O.C website ( I cant find anything).

Can someone tell me if there is any chance that they ARE changing the law or going to recalculate non violent offenders ? Her release date is Aug 2027 , is there any chance of her being able to get out sooner?

Thanks in advance !
