RELEASE PLAN

Inmate's Full Name: Tyrone Doe
Inmate Number: 54312-668  
Correctional Facility Name: Name Federal Prison Camp  

Introduction

Tyrone Doe,  a 54-year-old African American male, is respectfully requesting consideration for transfer based on his successful rehabilitation, low needs, low custody status, nonviolent history, readiness to reintegrate into society and after the application of accured First Step Act time credits, Second Chance Act and Good Conduct Time. 

As of October 9, 2024, this request is ripe as it comes 21 months before such consideration will be made based upon the application of current laws and Bureau of Prisons policy (5100.08).  At Implementation of this request (July 13, 2026), John will have served 68 months of his 130-month sentence for money laundering, tax evasion, and lying to law enforcement. He has no prior convictions and has demonstrated a commitment to personal improvement and community service during his incarceration.

BOP Analysis:

Since, the BOP has outlined several programs to facilitate the successful reentry of inmates into society, including Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs), Day Reporting Centers (DRCs), and Federal Location Monitoring (FLM), Tyrone is seeking to apply these program toward his reentry. 

Eligibility for Reentry Programs:

- Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs): 

At the point of submitting this request for transfer, Tyrone has received FTC toward a statutory release date of January 2029. He will have earned additional FTC’s to be applied toward RRC/HC. He is additionally seeking 6 months of RRC placement from Second Chance Act of which the Bureau can place Tyrone up to 12 months (7310.04). Tyrone additionally, is eligible for placement in Home Confinement (HC) for the final 10 percent or 6 months whichever is the lesser. With the application of the Bureau’s policy and calculations Tyrone can be transferred to RRC on July 13, 2026. The transfer would support the Bureau's goals and policies; he will receive support in securing employment, housing, and counseling services. This transitional housing will provide a structured environment, which is crucial given his current homeless status upon release along with the training into a new career at age 57 which in itself is a huge hurdle to overcome at reentry. 

- Federal Location Monitoring (FLM) combined with Day Reporting Centers (DRCs):

Due to his non-violent criminal history Tyrone may also qualify for FLM. After 6 months at RRC and obtaining employment Tyrone could live at home with electronic monitoring, reducing the burden on institutional resources while ensuring community safety.  DRC would support his transition to independent living while maintaining accountability.
