Explanation:

1. "Truth - in - sentencing" laws aim to ensure criminals serve most of their imposed sentences, so it is harder for them to get reduced sentences.
2. Zebulon Brockway was a 19th - century prison reformer who believed criminal behavior was due to genetic inferiority and poor parenting.
3. Since the Innocence Project's DNA evidence proves the man's innocence, commutation (changing the sentence, often to a less severe one) is appropriate as the man should not be serving the death sentence.

Answer:

1. C. harder for criminals to receive reduced sentences
2. B. genetic inferiority and poor parenting
3. A. commutation
