Parole Date Advancements for Substance Abuse Treatment Program Completion

The U.S. Parole Commission is proposing to amend its regulations on superior program achievement to permit a prisoner to be considered for a special advancement of the prisoner's presumptive release date, by up to twelve months, if the prisoner is a non-violent offender who has completed a program of treatment for a recognized problem of substance abuse and dependence. Although the existing regulation already sets forth a schedule of permissible advancements for superior program achievement, the [[Page 26011]] Commission proposes to add the above-described provision in order to equalize the incentive available to parole-eligible prisoners with the new incentive for completion of substance abuse treatment programs that will be available for federal prisoners serving no-parole sentences, under 18 U.S.C. 3621(e)(2).
