Operative words
On April 3, the Attorney General exercised emergency authority under the CARES Act, to further increase Home Confinement.... Since the release of Attorney General Barr's original memo to the Bureau of Prisons on March 26, 2020 instructing us to prioritize home confinement as an appropriate response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the BOP has placed an additional 566 inmates on home confinement. There are currently 3,419 inmate on home confinement and 7,199 inmates in Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs).
Enforcement
18 U.S.C. 3624(c); CARES Act s. 12003(b)(2)
Notes
Residential reentry centers are private contractors; the shift of thousands of inmates to home confinement changed their census and contracts.
