JUDGE DANA DOUGLAS ACKNOWLEDGED ‘JEANS’ “EFFORTS-IN-PRISON,” AND GRANTED COMPASSIONATE RELEASE: TIME SERVED.
This is an example that the work and effort you put into self-improvement, personal development and education, while mentoring others, could result in: Compassionate Release – Time Served
The Initial Guidelines ranged from 352 to 425 months; their sentence was 292 months. Prison can be temporary— How Temporary is up to you!
The Court Found,
“Non-retroactive changes in sentencing law may constitute extraordinary and compelling reasons warranting compassionate release when other factors, such as the defendant’s rehabilitation, are also present.”
Accordingly, the district court found that the non-retroactive changes in the law may favor compassionate release.
The district court weighed the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and found that granting Jean’s motion was consistent with these factors. Accordingly, the district court granted Jean’s §3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion, and Jean was subsequently resentenced to time-served,

2. BOP Case Managers wrote:
· “I have over 20 years of experience within the BOP, and very rarely have I come across an inmate who has truly worked on himself from the day of his admittance in the custody of the BOP. It’s rare to see someone genuinely bettering themselves for a successful return to society.”· …” A valuable, trustworthy, and indispensable asset – a true testament of an individual who has not only educated himself but also many of his peers as he prepares for re-entry back into society.”
The court ruled that there is no clear basis in the statute to categorically prevent district courts from considering non-retroactive changes in the law as a factor in compassionate release decisions. Appellate precedent and 1B1.13 do not prohibit the inclusion of such factors in the compassionate release calculation.
