The US Supreme Court is addressing federal sentencing, the authority of the US Sentencing Commission, and supervised release. In 2026, the Sentencing Commission issued a new report on revocation, and in 2025, it amended the guidelines to focus judges on individualization, as new research tracked the use of conditions. This session analyzes the developing law and debates about the utility and practices of supervision, the role of mental health, and the impact of early termination.
