2h agoThe Biden Administration is
beginning the clemency process for certain inmates released to home confinement
due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The process will begin with a
review of nonviolent drug offenders on Cares Act Home Confinement with four
years or less to serve.
A provision of federal
stimulus law signed by former President Donald Trump last year expanded the
group of inmates eligible for early release.
According to the Bureau of Prisons
website, over 7,500 inmates
are on home confinement.
It's not clear how many of the
inmates are non-violent drug offenders.
