The correct answer to this question is called "sentence commutation." This is a form of clemency that reduces the punishment for a crime. Usually, prisoners with good behaviors are granted this. Reduced prison term is the common form of commutation. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
