AI Summary
This bill would amend Title 18 of the United States Code to allow a court to reduce the prison sentence of certain defendants who were convicted as adults for offenses committed and completed before they turned 18 years old. The key provisions include: allowing the court to reduce the sentence if the defendant has served at least 20 years and is not a danger to the community, requiring a period of supervised release, and establishing a process for defendants to apply for a sentence reduction. The bill also ensures that defendants are not deprived of educational or rehabilitation programs available to the general prison population. The amendments would apply to convictions entered before, on, or after the date of enactment.
