Are offenders able to gain early releases from incarceration if they complete residential treatment?
(top) The 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act allows the Bureau’s Director, at his/her discretion, to provide up to one year early release for non-violent inmates who complete the entire RDAP. The RDAP coordinator, the offender’s case manager, and, when appropriate, legal staff review the offender’s record to determine if he/she is provisionally eligible for an early release. Offenders who are found to be provisionally eligible by policy must complete all components of RDAP, institution transition, and community transition, as well as sustain clear conduct. For further information on early release eligibility, see Program Statements 5330.10 and 5162.10.
