Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on inmates in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) whose date of release from prison is determined by the U.S. Parole Commission, focusing on the: (1) time served, estimated time remaining to serve, gender, security, classification, and offense of conviction of old law inmates in BOP's custody as of June 1, 1998, who had served at least one-third of their prison sentences; and (2) Parole Commission's process for determining inmate prison release dates.
