No Early Release: Carjackers Must Serve Full Prison Sentences.

This bill aims to enhance public safety by tightening penalties for individuals convicted of federal carjacking offenses. Under the proposed changes, these offenders would be ineligible to receive credit toward their sentence for good behavior or participation in rehabilitation programs. Consequently, those convicted of carjacking must serve the full prison term imposed by the court.
Key points
Individuals convicted of federal carjacking offenses will no longer be eligible for early release from prison.
Offenders cannot receive sentence credits for good conduct or participation in programs.
The changes apply to all prisoners in federal custody on or after the date the law takes effect.
