(FBOP) - On March 31, 2025, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) issued a memorandum announcing limitations on Second Chance Act (SCA) placements in Residential Reentry Centers. Based on concerns about how these limitations impact the population, BOP will not proceed with the planned changes to limit SCA placement to 60 days. A new memo was issued today, April 10, 2025, rescinding the previous guidance.
