submitted 36 years ago by Pub. L. 101-647 to r/title-18-CRIMES-AND-CRIMINAL-PROCEDURE · 179 words · no verdicts yet
The Bureau may place consenting people with prison terms over 12 and up to 30 months in a shock-incarceration program. The initial program period may last up to 6 months and includes military-style discipline plus education, job training, and counseling.
(a) The Bureau may place a person sentenced to more than 12 but no more than 30 months in prison in a shock-incarceration program if the person consents. (b) For an initial period chosen by the Bureau, no longer than 6 months, the inmate must: (1) follow a highly regimented schedule with the strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, drill, and ceremony characteristic of military basic training; and (2) take appropriate job-training and educational programs, including literacy, and drug, alcohol, and other counseling. (c) An inmate whom the Bureau Director finds successfully completed the required shock-incarceration period remains in Bureau custody for a period the Bureau considers appropriate, not longer than the prison term’s remaining required time, and under conditions the Bureau considers appropriate.
The Bureau of Prisons may place in a shock incarceration program any person who is sentenced to a term of imprisonment of more than 12, but not more than 30, months, if such person consents to that placement.
For such initial portion of the term of imprisonment as the Bureau of Prisons may determine, not to exceed 6 months, an inmate in the shock incarceration program shall be required to—
adhere to a highly regimented schedule that provides the strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, drill, and ceremony characteristic of military basic training; and
participate in appropriate job training and educational programs (including literacy programs) and drug, alcohol, and other counseling programs.
An inmate who in the judgment of the Director of the Bureau of Prisons has successfully completed the required period of shock incarceration shall remain in the custody of the Bureau for such period (not to exceed the remainder of the prison term otherwise required by law to be served by that inmate), and under such conditions, as the Bureau deems appropriate.
