This 2013 BOP Memo was written five years before the First Step Act.
Still, in 2024, there is no calculator to assist case managers in moving men and women out of institutions sooner. Forbes: 7/18/2024 Walter Pavlo
In a June 24, 2010, memorandum, "Revised Guidance for Residential Reentry Center Placements," and an April 14, 2008, memorandum, "Pre-Release Residential Reentry Center Placements following the Second Chance Act of 2007."
The two home confinement options they endorsed.
1) Placement under the supervision of an RRC in aa HH or HC, or

2) Placed under the Federal Location Monitoring (FLM) program operated by U. S. Probation, where available.

3) Both are cheaper than keeping AIC incarcerated when they could be released with some beginning to make restitution payments.
**This is a perfect example of why the personal narrative and an ever-growing release plan with a history of spending one's time in constructive activities could smooth out the process and get you that case manager's HH or HC recommendation for the RRM.
The Caveat is that when dealing with the BOP or the courts, unfortunately, there are No Promises or Guarantees.

The Disconnect.
Case managers on the front lines of implementing this law are encountering problems because of their understanding and interpretation of the law and halfway house capacity issues.
Jeremy Cooper, NCRO Correctional Programs Administrator.
You can "stack" the 2nd Chance ACT HC and then add your FTCs toward it, BUT THAT's NOT HAPPENING.
Why?
Case Managers don't have a Current Projected Release Date (PRD) or a calculator to see anyone's real-time transition date to halfway house,” Cooper said.
With no calculator, there can be no stacking, and this calculator has been
promised for months.
Dr. Gabel, FTC-related issues using the Administrative Remedy Process. Case managers are unaware of these rules; 'the process is broken.' Many staff do not understand the nuances of the law

1. The process (§2241) can take months to over a year to even reach the district court, sometimes too late

2. Case Managers are left to (be the middle child), telling AIC that “The BOP Central Office” advised they have no update or information regarding their projected date of leaving the institution.

3. At times, they are held until after that date.
