S 713 United States Senate · 118th Congress

No Early Release for Carjackers Act of 2023

This bill prohibits prisoners convicted of carjacking (under 18 U.S.C. § 2119) from earning time credit toward their sentence while incarcerated. It amends federal sentencing law to specifically exclude carjacking offenses from the calculation of time served, meaning individuals sentenced for carjacking must serve their full prison term without reductions for good behavior or other time-credit mechanisms. The law applies only to prisoners in Bureau of Prisons custody on or after the bill's enactment date. It directly affects carjacking offenders serving federal sentences, preventing early release through standard sentence credit calculations.
