HR-6400 : Still Just a Bill

Emergency Community Supervision Act

This bill establishes measures to reduce the number of individuals in federal custody during a national emergency relating to a communicable disease.

Specifically, it does the following:

• requires certain categories of inmates to be released and placed in community supervision (e.g., home confinement);
• limits the use of pretrial detention; and
• modifies supervised release, including to limit the use of incarceration as a sanction for a parole violation.
