| 03-15823 | Good Conduct Time: Aliens With Confirmed Orders of Deportation, Exclusion, or Removal | Proposed Rule | In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to amend its rules on Good Conduct Time (GCT). The purpose of this proposed rule is to more effectively reduce the lengthy General Educational Development (GED) waiting lists and to reevaluate the "satisfactory progress in a literacy program" provision of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (VCCLEA) and/or the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA) for aliens with confirmed orders of deportation, exclusion, or removal. This proposed rule will increase the proportion of our literacy funds and resources that go to inmates who will remain in the U.S. after release. This proposed rule will exempt such inmate aliens from the "satisfactory progress in a literacy program" provision of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (VCCLEA) and/or the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA). The Bureau's Literacy Program rules currently comprise only GED attainment. This means that inmate aliens who have confirmed orders of deportation, exclusion, or removal, but do not have a high school diploma or GED, will not need to demonstrate satisfactory progress toward earning a GED credential to be considered for the full benefits of GCT. When considering GCT, we propose to allow 54 days GCT for each year served if the inmate is an alien with a confirmed order of deportation, exclusion, or removal from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) (now referred to as the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS)). In this document, we also propose to reorganize the rule for clarity and accuracy. Other than the substantive change regarding sentenced deportable aliens, we make no further substantive changes. | 2003-06-25 | 2003 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/06/25/03-15823/good-conduct-time-aliens-with-confirmed-orders-of-deportation-exclusion-or-removal | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-06-25/pdf/03-15823.pdf | Justice Department; Prisons Bureau | 268,437 | In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to amend its rules on Good Conduct Time (GCT).
