Sentence Modification (3582)

Sentence Modification under 18 U.S.C. § 3582 allows a court to reduce or change a federal prison sentence after it has been imposed, usually due to new circumstances like changes in sentencing laws, rehabilitation, or extraordinary reasons such as health issues.

Factors for Sentence Modification

  • Reduction based on retroactive changes to sentencing laws (e.g., drug law reforms)
     
  • Compassionate release due to extraordinary or compelling reasons (e.g., serious illness)
     
  • Sentencing adjustments for substantial assistance to authorities (motion by prosecutor)
     
  • Correction of sentencing errors or miscalculations
     
  • Modification due to changes in sentencing guidelines
     
  • Reduction for rehabilitation or good behavior (limited and specific cases)
