2nd Chance Act - Do You Want The Maximum Amount Of Halfway House Time Or Home Detention

The Second Chance Act clarifies the statute governing federal halfway house placement prior to release, and ensures consideration of longer placements.

Florida, FL (prHWY.com) March 14, 2013 - Florida, Mar 14, 2013 - The Second Chance Act clarifies the statute governing federal halfway house placement prior to release, and ensures consideration of longer placements. It does not require the BOP to place inmates in halfway houses earlier or for longer periods of time. The bill simply requires the BOP to ensure that, to the extent practicable, an inmate is considered for halfway house placement for up to 12 months, not just up to a maximum of six months or 10% of his time served, whichever is less, as set forth in the previous law.
In addition, the Second Chance Act allows the BOP discretion to place a prisoner in home confinement for six months or 10 percent of the whole term of imprisonment, whichever is less. In many cases this may be a six month maximum in home confinement also. Thereby, a prisoner who receives additional halfway house time through the Second Chance Act may actually serve part of the additional time in home confinement instead of in a halfway house.
The 2nd Chance Act allows the BOP discretion to place a prisoner in home confinement for six months or 10 percent of the whole term of imprisonment, whichever is less.
What Jail Time Consulting does is to provide, through research, documentation, and communication with the defendant or inmate, his family if applicable, the court, the staff at the inmate's facility, and other appropriate entities, documentation to support eligibility and application for additional halfway house time via the Second Chance Act.
