Parole Date Advancements for Substance Abuse Treatment Program Completion

The U.S. Parole Commission is amending 28 CFR 2.60 to permit a prisoner to be considered for a special advancement of his presumptive release date, by up to twelve months, if the prisoner is a non-violent offender who has completed a treatment program for a recognized problem of substance abuse. Although 28 CFR 2.60 already sets forth a schedule of permissible advancements for superior program achievement, the Commission is adding the above-described provision in order to provide to parole-eligible prisoners an incentive to complete the treatment program that is comparable to the incentive under 18 U.S.C. 3621(e)(2) that will be available from the Bureau of Prisons for federal prisoners serving sentences for crimes committed after November 1, 1987.
