Emergency Community Supervision Act

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 suspend the request for detention and imprisonment as a sanction for a violation of probation, supervised release, or parole.
