JUDGE DANA DOUGLAS GRANTS COMPASSIONATE RELEASE – TO: “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!

· “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.
