I have amazing news to share: The Department of Justice will no longer require people serving on CARES Act home confinement to return to prison en masse at the end of the pandemic!

FAMM has been urging both the Biden and Trump administrations not to send people on CARES Act home confinement back to prison when the pandemic ends. The DOJ’s decision is excellent news for thousands of people and their families to get before the holidays. We are very grateful to the Biden administration for fixing this mistake.

We hope clemency remains on the table for those who no longer warrant home confinement. But for now, today’s decision will ease a lot of concerns and fears.

I am so grateful for the work you did to help us urge the Biden Administration to #KeepThemHome. On behalf of families everywhere, thank you.

You can read FAMM’s full statement on our website.

Kevin Ring is FAMM’s president.
