FedCURE is the world's leading advocate
for America's, ever growing, federal inmate population. On behalf of the Board
of Directors, we would like to extend an invitation to each of you to join us in
our efforts to reform the federal criminal justice system in the United States.
Federal CURE, Incorporated is a nonprofit organization that, inter alia, deals
largely with the issues faced by federal inmates and their loved ones.
We are working to reinstate parole; increase
good time allowances; provide for compassionate releases; restore PELL
grants; and opportunities for successful reentry into the
community, for all federal offenders; and promote a system that
incarcerates fewer people and provides humane conditions for those who are
incarcerated or under post-incarceration supervision via parole or supervised
release. Over 60,000 people were released from federal prison last
year, of which 20,000 were deported.
FedCURE's Federal Good Time Bill Campaign: "Top 10 Ideas for Change in America"
FedCURE Call-2-Action | BARBER Amendment ~ 112th Congress
We went all out to get "H.R. 1475" - The Federal Prison Work Incentive Act passed into law during the lame duck session--last days of the 111th Congress. Many thanks to the tens of
thousands of American's who supported H.R. 1475 in the 111th Congress. Although the bill did not pass, it is not the last hurrah for federal good
time legislation.
Announcing: The Sentencing
Reform Act of 2011 (best practices, evidence based legislation to establish a retroactive, hybrid system of parole and good time allowances; retroactive 1-1 ratio for crack cocaine penalties and retroactive repeal of mandatory minimum sentences, for most federal offenders; and provide reentry opportunities for people coming home from prison) & The Barber Amendment (proposed Bill to Increase Good Time Allowances for federal offenders to 128 days a year) for the 112th Congress.
Please continue to contact your Congresspersons urging them to sponsor FedCURE's legislative proposals in the 112th Congress.
