Re- Instate Federal Parole

Restores parole opportunity for federal prisoners. In 1984, the Sentencing Reform Act removed parole for those convicted of an offense occurring after November 1, 1987.Such prisoners now serve their entire sentence, less only 13% good-time credit. However,because parole remained available for those prisoners convicted of a pre-1987 offense, the U.S. Parole Commission needed to remain in existence. Therefore, the parole statutes have
been kept intact since 1987 by repeated postponement of the effective date of their repeal. This is estimated to save the taxpayers 4 to 7 billion dollars annually and 80 to 140 billion dollars over a twenty-year period
