The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has updated its compassionate release guidelines, broadening the criteria for inmates seeking early release due to age, health, or family circumstances. This move comes after years of advocacy from inmate families and legal organizations. Under the new rules, more inmates will be eligible for release, particularly those suffering from severe medical conditions or those who are aging and no longer deemed a threat to society. Families of federal inmates are encouraged to consult legal experts to understand their loved one’s eligibility.
