Summary

The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to modify regulations on Good Conduct Time (GCT) credit to conform with recent legislative changes under the First Step Act (FSA), which would result in recalculation of the release date of most current inmates. However, as provided in the FSA, this change will not be effective until the Attorney General completes and releases the risk and needs assessment system.
