Q: Hi, my question is, what can be done to aid someone in federal prison whom was approved for released early under the FSA
But during the BOP release process, the state of SC put a hold on him but did not specify the reasoning. I have since found where he & 21 others were indicted in 2018 for conspiracy.
Even though he qualifies for early release he can not be as long as there is a hold for that charge & will have to serve his full sentence / max out in 2022. Is there anything that can be done to assist him is resolving this matter so he can go home to his family? Thank you so much for your time.
A: The best thing for this person to do is file a form with the prison where he is currently being held under the interstate agreement on detainers. This will force the State of SC to start the process of bringing him back for trial on the state matter. If the state fails to do so within a certain period of time the State will not be able to proceed on the charges. You can search online for form BP-A0236.
