BOP Program Statement 5880.30 § 16
Unconditional discharge of a YCA sentenced inmate under 18 USC §
5017(b). A YCA inmate (including a Johnson or Lewis inmate--see
paragraphs 17. and 18. below.) who is released on parole (regardless
of how the parole originated) may be unconditionally discharged prior
to the EFT as provided under 18 USC § 5017(b) (also see 28 CFR
2.43(a)(2)) which states,
"(b) The Commission may discharge a committed youth offender
unconditionally at the expiration of one year from the date
of conditional release."
For example, if a YCA inmate was paroled on December 12, 1983
with an EFT of October 10, 1989 and served one year of supervision
successfully, the Parole Commission could unconditionally discharge
the inmate from further service of the sentence any time after
December 11, 1984.
