Abolition of Parole for Federal Offenders

The abolition of parole for federal offenders means that individuals convicted of certain federal crimes will no longer have the option to be released early from prison based on good behavior or other factors. Instead, they must serve their entire sentence. This change aims to create a more consistent punishment for crimes, discourage repeat offenses, and address concerns about public safety. Critics argue it removes incentives for rehabilitation, while supporters believe it holds offenders accountable. Overall, this policy reflects a shift toward tougher sentencing in the federal justice system.
