2ND CIRCUIT REINVENTS COMPASSIONATE RELEASE TO UNLEASH JUDGES’ DISCRETION

The government has been fighting 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) compassionate release motions hammer and tong ever since inmates won the right to file such motions themselves in the First Step Act. (Before that, only the BOP could file such a compassionate release motion, and – unsurprisingly – the BOP had little interest in doing so, but that’s another story).
