“The First Step Act has been a critical means of reducing excess incarceration while prioritizing community safety,” Nellis asserted. “Bipartisan groups, including The Sentencing Project, urge Congress to build on it by passing the bipartisan First Step Implementation Act, the Safer Detention Act, and the EQUAL Act.”
The Safer Detention Act would make them eligible and allow older adults who have served most of their sentence and who the Bureau of Prisons deems a low risk to return to their families via the elderly home detention pilot program. “While the First Step Act has proven successful in many aspects, its implementation has faced significant challenges limiting its overall impact and effectiveness,” the authors wrote.
