This July 25, 2019 photo provided by the Mississippi Department of Corrections shows Paul Houser taken at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, Miss. Houser was sentenced in 2007 to 60 years in prison without a chance for parole after he was arrested for having two lithium batteries and a six pack of cold medicine in his truck. His sentence was so high because he had two previous felony arrests on drug charges. The Mississippi Legislature is seeking to eliminate instances where prisoner's sentences are significantly lengthened due to their criminal histories, if past offenses were nonviolent or happened a long time ago.
