Easier Early End to Post-Prison Supervision and New Release Rules.

This law changes the rules for post-imprisonment supervised release, making it easier for low-risk individuals to end their supervision early. The goal is to reduce probation officer caseloads and encourage rehabilitation by creating a presumption of early termination after serving half the supervision term, provided public safety is not jeopardized. Furthermore, inmates not sentenced to supervised release can now use earned time credits for earlier release.
Key points
Early Termination: Individuals can seek to end supervision after serving 50% of the term (or 66.6% for certain offenses) without needing to prove “extraordinary circumstances.”
Individualized Sentencing: Courts must now make an individualized assessment of whether supervised release is necessary and provide reasons for their decision.
Expanded Early Release: Inmates who were not assigned supervised release can now use earned time credits (up to 12 months) for earlier release from prison.
