harmonize the intent of 18 usc sect. 3582, whose focus is to reduce a term for elderly prisoners. Antonio Bascaro has served over 30 yrs. and is over 70 yrs. old. First, it is inconsistent for warden/Director to move a Court to reduce an offenders' term in the face of emphasis for mandatory sentences. Yet, Bascaro has the right to move the court to reduce his term. Two, the legislative intent of 3582c(1) sought to expand the narrow option for reducing terms by adding another criteria - 30 yrs in prison and over 70 yrs old. Yet Prison officials have frustrated all attempts for relief with delay for clarification, confusion as to application of policy and failed to seek input from USSC. Third, staff have used an INS detainer to deny consideration. Harmony is sought to affect court action.
