Federal inmates to be released under 'time credits' program
Fox News
The Justice Department will begin transferring thousands of inmates out of federal prisons this week as part of a sweeping criminal justice overhaul signed by President Trump more than three years ago.
While the transfers are expected to begin this week, it isn't clear how many inmates will be released. The department would only say that "thousands" of inmates are being affected.
Under the law signed in December 2018, inmates are eligible to earn time credits — 10 days to 15 days of credit for every 30 days they participate in prison programs to reduce recidivism. The programs range from anger management and drug treatment to educational, work and social skills classes.
