Bill > S3077

This bill aims to reform federal supervised release by providing more individualized and flexible approaches to post-imprisonment supervision. The legislation introduces several key changes, including requiring courts to make individualized assessments when determining supervised release terms, creating a presumption for early termination of supervision for defendants who have served a significant portion of their release term and demonstrated good conduct, and expanding judicial discretion in modifying supervision conditions. The bill recognizes that excessive correctional intervention can potentially increase recidivism and seeks to tailor supervision more precisely to individual needs. It establishes that early termination of supervised release does not require extraordinary circumstances and allows defendants to seek termination even if their plea agreement does not explicitly address it. Additionally, the bill requires a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on federal post-release supervision, mandates a study on reentry services, and calls for a legislative proposal to provide law enforcement availability pay for federal probation and pretrial services officers. The overall goal is to reduce burdens on law enforcement, encourage rehabilitation, improve public safety, and create more positive pathways for individuals transitioning back into society after imprisonment.
