AMERICANS DEMAND TIME SERVED WHILE UNDER MANDATORY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS!

AMERICANS DEMAND "TIME SERVED/FULL CREDIT" WHILE UNDER MANDATORY SUPERVISION OF FEDERAL PRETRIAL SERVICES PROGRAM

To The Attention of the: United States House Committee on the Judiciary/Congress

Under current United States Federal Laws: both United States Federal Title 18 U.S.C. § 3585 – “Calculation of a Term of Imprisonment” and United States Federal Title 18 U.S.C. §3142 – “Release and Detention Pending Judicial Proceedings”.  When an American Citizen is alleged or formally charged with a Federal Crime that American Citizen in most circumstances is immediately placed under a federal program called the “United States Federal Pretrial Supervision Program” (which is “directly” or “indirectly” a form of Probation/Supervision) which carries harsh temporary restrictions on the defendant.  And while during this entire time until the defendant’s end of trial date - part of the defendant’s United States Federal Constitution Rights, United States Bill of Rights, United States Civil Rights and Universal Declaration of Human Rights are temporary stripped from them which is a violation.  And in addition the defendant does not receive “Time Served/Full Credit” for his or her mandatory participation in this federal program under the current federal laws.

Any person (the defendant) can be held on “United States Federal Pretrial Supervision Program” (which is “directly” or “indirectly” a form of Probation/Supervision) for many, many years until the end of his or her court trial date whether found guilty or innocent of the charge he or she is being accused of.

The United States Federal Pretrial Supervision Program (which is “directly” or “indirectly” a form of Probation/Supervision) is an “Alternative to Jail Incarceration” and provides all criminal court defendants that are initially unable to post bail, the opportunity to be interviewed to determine eligibility for release from jail under a supervised program administered by the United States Federal Pretrial Supervision Program (which is “directly” or “indirectly” a form of Probation/Supervision) of the court.

Federal Pretrial Program releases are mainly for defendants alleged or accused of minor crimes who can demonstrate that they live within the community and pose no threat of flight or danger to the community at large.   The Conditions of Release of the defendant by the United States Federal Pretrial Services Program (which is “directly” or “indirectly” a form of Probation/Supervision) varies from “case-to-case” and from “defendant-to-defendant” which may include the one of, part of, or all of the following:
 

Monthly/Weekly Telephone Contact by the Pretrial Officer
Random Periodic Home and Office visits by the Pretrial Officer
Monthly/Weekly Visits to the Pretrial Officer Office Location
Monthly/Weekly Visits to the Defendants Place of Employment
Drug Testing and Monitoring by the Pretrial Officer
Mental Health or Substance Abuse Evaluations by the Pretrial Officer
Domestic Violence Evaluations by the Pretrial Officer
Travel Restrictions Of Any Sort by the Pretrial Officer
A Home Curfew by the Pretrial Officer
Mandatory Employment Requirements
Mandatory Residence Requirement
Mandatory Travel and Court Appearances
Compliance of All Federal, State and Local Laws
GPS Location Tracking & Monitoring of the defendant
Waive their Constitutional Rights Under the 4th Amendment (Search and Seizure)
Ammo and Gun/Weapon Ownership Rights Temporary Revoked
Surrender of Passport (Travel Restrictions)
Additional Restrictions and Conditions May Apply

As clearly shown and outlined above - the United States Federal Pretrial Services Program is a form of “Probation/Supervision” even though the Federal Government does not call or consider it that under current federal laws.

The  American Citizens of the United States – are calling for change in the way the United States Federal Government (the United States House Committee on the Judiciary/Congress) calculates and defines “Time Served/Full Credit” while out of custody within the Federal Judicial System under mandatory supervision by the United States Federal Pretrial Services Program (which is “directly” or “indirectly” a form of Probation/Supervision) which was ordered by the court before the defendant’s actual trial court date.   

The  American Citizens of the United States are demanding that the United States Federal Government (the United States House Committee on the Judiciary/Congress) revise and update United States Federal Title 18 U.S.C. § 3585 – “Calculation of a Term of Imprisonment” and United States Federal Title 18 U.S.C. §3142 – “Release and Detention Pending Judicial Proceedings “and immediately grant “Time Served/Full Credit” for each day of “good behavior” to the defendant while under mandatory participation of the “United States Federal Pretrial Supervision Program” (which is “directly” or “indirectly” a form of Probation/Supervision).
