Drug Abuse Treatment and Intensive Confinement Center Programs: Early Release Consideration

In this document, the Bureau of Prisons is revising its rule on Drug Abuse Treatment Programs which allows for consideration of early release of eligible inmates who complete a residential drug abuse treatment program. The Bureau of Prisons is revising the rules with respect to the criteria for receiving a sentence reduction and also with respect to the authority of the Community Corrections Regional Administrator to adjust the presumptive release date for an inmate in a community-based program. The amendment is intended to provide for adequate drug treatment transitional programs and to demonstrate more clearly the discretion granted to the Director of the Bureau of Prisons under 18 U.S.C. 3621(e) by listing the criteria that would preclude an inmate from receiving a sentence reduction as determined by the Director of the Bureau of Prisons. Criteria for possible sentence reduction under the intensive confinement center program are being modified in a similar manner as a conforming amendment.
