| B.O.P. RDAP INSTITUTION LIST BELOW |
| Eligible inmates graduating from the 500 hour R.D.A.P program can receive up to a 12 month sentence reduction and a 6 month Reentry Center, Half-Way House/Community Corrections Center (CCC) Placement. To qualify, you must have a history of drug (substance) abuse or dependence during your last 12 months prior to entering custody, which includes legal and/or illegal drugs, prescribed or not, and/or alcohol abuse. If you were truthful when your PSI/PSR was prepared by the U.S. Probation Department, it should be listed under the Substance Abuse Section. Many times this is not the case, because either your lawyer advised you not to disclose this information, or you were afraid to tell the U.S. Probation Officer assigned to prepare your PSI/PSR, for fear of getting another charge. This is where we can assist you in meeting the eligibility requirements for this program. Inmates may apply for the RDAP program at any time after entering custody, but are generally not interviewed until they are within 36 months of release. Most inmates are within 24-26 months of release when they enter the program. There are other qualifiers related to the current offence, such as past criminal history, detainers and institutional conduct that need to be cleared to be early released eligible. |
| An inmate sentenced to a term of imprisonment pursuant to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 227, Subchapter D for nonviolent offenses, who is determined to have a substance abuse problem, and successfully completes a residential drug abuse treatment program during his current commitment may be eligible, in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section, for early release by a period not to exceed 12 months. |
| (1) Phase-in.— In order to carry out the requirement of the last sentence of subsection (b) of this section, that every prisoner with a substance abuse problem have the opportunity to participate in appropriate substance abuse treatment, the Bureau of Prisons shall, subject to the availability of appropriations, provide residential substance abuse treatment. 2) Incentive for prisoners’ successful completion of treatment program.— A) Generally.— Any prisoner who, in the judgment of the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, has successfully completed a program of residential substance abuse treatment provided under paragraph (1) of this subsection, shall remain in the custody of the Bureau under such conditions as the BOP deems appropriate. If the conditions of confinement are different from those the prisoner would have experienced absent successful completion of the treatment, the BOP shall periodically test the prisoner for substance abuse and discontinue such conditions on determining that substance abuse has recurred. B) Period of custody.— The period a prisoner convicted of a nonviolent offense remains in custody after successfully completing a treatment program may be reduced by the Bureau of Prisons, but such reduction "may not be more than one year from the term the prisoner must otherwise serve." |
| (a) Additional early release criteria. (1) As an exercise of the discretion vested in the Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the following categories of inmates are not eligible for early release: (i) INS detainees; (ii) Pretrial inmates; (iii) Contractual boarders (for example, D.C., State, or military inmates); (iv) Inmates who have a prior felony or misdemeanor conviction for homicide, forcible rape, robbery, or aggravated assault, or child sexual abuse offenses; (v) Inmates who are not eligible for participation in a community-based program as determined by the Warden on the basis of his or her professional discretion; (vi) Inmates whose current offense is a felony: (A) That has as an element, the actual, attempted, or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another, or (B) That involved the carrying, possession, or use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon or explosives (including any explosive material or explosive device), or (C) That by its nature or conduct, presents a serious potential risk of physical force against the person or property of another, or (D) That by its nature or conduct involves sexual abuse offenses committed upon children. |

| The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a BOP policy to restrict early release to certain prisoners who completed the RDAP program. The program was for prisoners convicted of non-violent offenses, and for 12 years, the BOP tried to exclude inmates who had used or possessed a firearm as being violent. The first time, BOP adopted an impermissible definition of "crime of violence;" Their second attempt was struck on notice and comment grounds (procedural) under the Administrative Procedures Act as 9th Circuit Judges Stephen Reinhardt, Cynthia Hall and Milan Smith ruled that the BOP regulations failed to set forth a rational rule. The BOP tried to justify the rule under the rationale that felons who had used guns are more likely to be a danger in the community. This rationale however was post hoc, and was not presented to the agency while the rule was being formulated. The second rationale, that exclusion was necessary to create uniformity amongst the different laws and definitions across the circuits was arbitrary and capricious. The agency could just as well have included such inmates. The reason that BOP chose one over the other (mean spiritedness?) was never explained or justified. Thus, it violated the APA. A helpful BOP legal counsel who asked not to be identified suggested inmates who'd completed RDAP and been denied the reduction immediately file an “Administrative Remedies Request” or “COP-OUT” form to seek an earlier release date. Note that the rule affects more than § 922(g) cases – it also barred the reduction for drug defendants who got the two- level guideline gun bump, and some other substantive offenses as well. |
