Text of Recommendation
The Department should develop policies or procedures that provide guidance to AUSAs about steps they should take and factors they should consider when responding to motions for compassionate release based on extraordinary medical circumstances. As part of such policies or procedures, the Department should consider requiring AUSAs, before responding to a motion for compassionate release, to seek input from BOP medical professionals or other medical experts and address timeliness and quality of past medical care by the BOP for the inmate, understaffing at the facility where the inmate is housed, and the BOP's ability to meet the inmate's needs.
