Change to mixed-code parole rules
The Parole Commission removed a procedural rule that treated combined U.S. and D.C. Code sentences as a single aggregated sentence for parole eligibility and mandatory release date decisions. This change applies to prisoners serving any combination of U.S. and D.C. sentences (called "mixed code" offenders) and the agency states it aims to make parole and supervision clearer with no extra costs or delays expected.
