    5         Section 1. Legislative intent.- It is the intent of the
    6  Legislature to require intensive postrelease supervision of
    7  offenders who have been convicted of violent offenses, thereby
    8  assisting them in successfully transitioning from prison back to
    9  the community and reducing their rate of reoffending. It is also
   10  the intent of the Legislature that the renaming of conditional
   11  release supervision to mandatory supervision does not create a
   12  new program, but it is merely a name change to accurately
   13  reflect the nature of this non-discretionary release.
