BOP Does Not Have Immediate Plans to Send Inmates on Home Confinement Back to Prison

BOP Director Michael Carvajal testified before Congress and stated that the BOP does not have any immediate plans to send the 4,000+ inmates on home confinement back to prison.At the same time, however, Director Carvajal did not rule out the possibility of sending them back to prison later, and he testified that Congress must pass a new law to prevent that from happening, citing the fact that the inmates were only allowed on home confinement due to the temporary emergency order issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
