Inmates who have served as little as 25 percent of their sentence are now being considered for home confinement, officials say.
Federal prison authorities have again changed the criteria used to consider inmates for early release, with the latest move broadening the set of prisoners eligible to be sent home on account of the dangers posed by the coronavirus.
However, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort — serving a 7½-year prison term — would likely not qualify for home confinement for another year or more. Story continues“Those families should not have to wait a day longer. Their loved ones can be sent home to quarantine,” he said. Broton stressed that those standards simply set priorities for the agency and “are subject to deviation in BOP’s discretion in certain circumstances and are subject to revision as the situation progresses.”
The Bureau of Prisons said it received 10 Abbott rapid testing machines and 264 test kits on April 10 and expects to receive another 10 machines next week.
