CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 47 - THE BEST IS YET TO COME

FedCURE is the world's leading advocate for America's federal inmate population. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to extend an invitation to each of you to join us on the Second Look tour and in our efforts to reform the federal criminal justice system in the United States. Federal CURE, Incorporated is a nonprofit organization that, inter alia, deals largely with the issues faced by federal inmates and their loved ones.

Biden Adminstration's CJR Agenda TBA. President Trump, on 3/7/2018 signed Executive Order establishing the: Federal Interagency Council on Crime Prevention and Improving Reentry. Teleconferences Hearing on Reentry 01 May 2020. We are working to enact the BARBER AMENDMENT ~ legislation to establish a hybrid system of parole and increased good time allowances; repeal mandatory minimum sentences; fast track compassionate release for terminally ill inmates; restore PELL grants; prepare inmates for release with 21st Century job skills; and develop 'White House Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships Reentry Programs,' for all federal offenders; and promota system that incarcerates fewer people and provides humane conditions for those who are incarcerated or under post-incarceration supervision via parole or supervised release. Over 60,000 people were released from federal prison last year, of which 20,000 were deported.

Prior to President Trump, the figures were astounding: More than one in every 100 adults in the United States is currently incarcerated and one in 31 adults are on probation or parole. Since 2009, approximately 40,000 federal inmates qualify for Community Corrections Custody (CCC) placement annually, of which twenty (20%) do not go because of lack of bed space, especially, in the jurisdictions where it is needed most. The numbers of eligible inmates had increased and seriously outpaced CCC capacity. In fiscal 2014 the Federal Bureau of Prisons was operating at 40 percent over rated capacity, unnecessdarily, risking the lives of both bureau staff and inmates. The bureau, GAO and CRS, post, had predicted 50%, by mid 2015. * There was no way to build out. The grounded reality facing reentry today still, is that communities have successfully blocked and or put a halt to new construction of Federal Prisons and Residential Reentry Centers (RRC), formerly known as, Half Way House. The First Step Act has intervened with policies, legislation and Faith-based recidivisim reduction re-entry programs, that are smart and right on crime, which are, inter alia, reducing the inmate population and lowering recedivisim rates. FedCURE's advocacy has resulted in the decrease of inmate population from its 2013 peak of 220,000 to 160,000 in 2023.

FedCURE's White House Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Reentry Programs Proposal would create almost unlimited bed space. The goal is to maximize the use home confinement for federal inmates reentering the community under current statutory law and bureau policy, which insures public safety. FedCURE estimates this would increase annual CCC capacity 10 to 20 thousand people or more (a 5-10% reduction in the federal prison population). Home confinement can provide unlimited CCC placement capacity for a few dollars a day. This would reasonably reduce the federal inmate prison population without jeopardizing public safety.

The groundbreaking Congressional Research Service 2013 Report recommends Congress increase good time allowances and reinstate parole for federal offenders. GAO says a 10% reduction in the inmate population saves $660 million a year. >

The most recent, GAO-23-105139 Report (Mar 20, 2023) -  Federal Bureau of Prisons Should Improve Efforts to Implement its Risk and Needs Assessment System:
Fast Facts-- About 45% of people released from federal prison are re-arrested or return within 3 years. The First Step Act of 2018 requires the Bureau of Prisons to regularly assess incarcerated people's needs and their risk of reoffending. Tap link for full report, supra.

BARBER AMENDMENT saves $1.2 billion a year on incarceration, that can be redirected within the bureau's budget to reentry, e.g., housing and employment.

Report: U.S. GAO-12-743

Bureau of Prisons ~ Growing Inmate Crowding Negatively Affects Inmates, Staff, and Infrastructure

 

 
FedCURE's Chairman, Mark A. Varca, J.D., and Jack Donson, Director of Case Management & Programs, FedCURE, participated in the U.S.Government Accounting Office's AskGAOLive video chat on its Bureau of Prisons Report 12-743. It was 23 min. FedCURE went on the record with these key questions, that GAO addressed:

FedCURE's concentrations on GAO 12-743:
  • Legislation to increase federal good time allowances; 
  • Cost savings by maximizing Reduction In Sentence (RIS) under current law and policy; 
  • Cost savings by direct placement of federal inmates to home confinement from an institution, pursuant to the Second Chance Act; 
  • Total cost savings by reducing the federal inmate population by 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively.
GAO's David C. Maurer reported, to FedCURE, that a 10% reduction in the federal prison population would save $660 million a year - FedCURE estimates the number is over $1.2 billion dollars a year. Maurer also reported that home confinement would be half the cost of incarceration or half way house (RRC). See the video [19:04-19:52].
