First Step Act Time Credits-Revisions
Issued by Justice Department
What the record says
The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) amends its First Step Act (FSA) Time Credits regulation to accord with the best reading of the FSA and to conform with recent case law trends. The first change clarifies when an inmate can begin to earn time credits, and the second change clarifies time credits eligibility for inmates serving a term of imprisonment imposed in a foreign country.
