Easier Early Release from Supervised Post-Imprisonment Supervision.

This law reforms the federal supervised release system, aiming to focus resources on high-risk individuals and incentivize successful social reintegration. It creates a presumption for early termination of supervision for individuals who demonstrate good conduct and have served at least half of their term, reducing court burdens and promoting rehabilitation. The changes provide a clearer path for citizens under supervision to full freedom while maintaining victims' rights.
Key points
Individuals can seek early termination of supervision after serving 50% of their term (or 66.6% for certain offenses), removing the mandatory one-year waiting period.
Courts must now conduct an individualized assessment of whether supervision is necessary and provide reasons on the record, rather than imposing it automatically.
The mandatory revocation of supervision for simple drug possession is removed, focusing enforcement on distribution or serious violations.
Requires a study and legislative proposal to increase pay for federal probation officers to help manage high caseloads and improve supervision quality.
