BOP Program Statement 5880.28 Change Notice 1

U.S. Department of Justice

Federal Bureau of Prisons

DIRECTIVE BEING CHANGED: 5880.28

CHANGE NOTICE NUMBER: CN-01

DATE: January 5, 1993

1. PURPOSE: To clarify the language in the Sentence Computation

Manual (SCM) (CCCA of 1984) pertaining to the application of

presentence/prior custody time credits to "old law" and

Sentencing Reform Act (SRA) terms; the order in which inoperative

and prior custody time are applied to a sentence; and computation

of a foreign treaty sentence.

2. SUMMARY OF CHANGES: This Change Notice clarifies the

application of presentence/prior custody time credits to

concurrent "old law" and Sentencing Reform Act terms. It also

specifies when non-federal time does not apply to a federal

sentence. Further, the order in which inoperative time and prior

custody time credit is applied to a sentence is restated to

reflect the proper order. The CN clarifies the application of

Good Conduct Time credits, under the provisions of 18 USC

§ 3624(b), as referred to in 18 USC § 4205(c)(1),(2) and (3), for

foreign treaty sentences when the offense occurred on or after

November 1, 1987. These changes provide broader and more

definitive instructions for computing SRA sentences.
