The Last Prisoner Project has formally addressed the U.S. Sentencing Commission, urging reforms in federal drug sentencing guidelines and supervised release policies to create a more equitable system. The LPP emphasizes individualized assessments and the elimination of unnecessary supervision, advocating for early termination options. In tackling harsh drug sentences, they recommend lowering the highest base offense levels and making proportional reductions across all categories, particularly for substances like cannabis and psychedelics, to foster rehabilitation and reduce recidivism while enhancing public safety.
Reforming supervised release policies to allow for individualized assessments and eliminate unnecessary restrictions facilitates reintegration and supports individuals, improving public safety.
LPP advocates for reducing harsh drug sentences related to the Drug Quantity Table, arguing that excessive sentences do not improve safety and contribute to recidivism.
By lowering the highest base offense level for federal drug sentences, the LPP emphasizes that a balanced approach can lead to better rehabilitation outcomes.
Proposing flexibility in supervised release would enable courts to reassess conditions after a year, allowing individuals to regain independence and improve their reintegration chances.
