No one outside of the inmate can affect the the length of the imposed sentence, and they can affect it only by achieving a high and consistent level of good behavior while incarcerated, which might earn them "good and gain time" or a shot at parole. UNLESS -someone on the 'outside' knows something about the case that might cause it to be re-opened and re-tried.

Can you plead down a class 4 felony charge in Illinois?

It may be possible in many cases to reduce a class 4 felony to a class a misdemeanor. One method of doing so would be to label the crime an attempt. An "attempt" of a crime is always one class lower than the crime itself. For example an "Attempt Possession of a Controlled Substance" would be a class a misdemeanor while "Possession of a Controlled Substance" would be a class 4 felony.
