Attorney General Barr has directed the BOP to expand its use of home confinement for at-risk inmates. Inmates released to home confinement will face a 14-day quarantine. Barr directed BOP to assess “whether [an inmate] . . . will be more safe in the particular circumstance in which they are going to find themselves. And in many cases, that may not be the case.” It remains to be seen how this directive will be implemented, for example, will BOP determine that inmates should not be released to home confinement in New York?
