BOP Home Confinement: A New Way to Get Your Loved One Home Faster
Don’t Wait—Your Loved One Could Come Home Today
In May 2025, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), William K. Marshall III, gave a major order. This directive became known as the BOP Home Confinement Expansion. He told prison staff to send more people to home confinement instead of keeping them in prison cells. Don’t Wait—Your Loved One Could Come Home Today is more than just a message; this new BOP policy makes it a real possibility for many families.
Even though this order is a year old, many people are still stuck in prison. This happens because the system moves slowly. At Jail Time Consulting, we make sure the prison follows these new rules for you.
What is “Direct-to-Home” Placement?
Usually, inmates have to go to a “halfway house” before going home. Now, the new rules say many people can skip the halfway house and go straight home.
No More Waiting for Beds: The prison cannot keep someone locked up just because a halfway house is full. If they are ready for home confinement, they should be released immediately.
Go Straight to Your Family: Many people don’t need a halfway house. If your loved one has a safe home to go to, they can often go directly there.
The Problem: Prison workers are busy. Often, they just don’t do the paperwork unless an expert like Jail Time Consulting pushes them to do it.
Using Your Credits to Get Out Early
The law allows inmates to earn “credits” for good behavior and taking classes. Director Marshall’s order makes it easier to use these credits to leave prison early.
Counting Your Time: We check the prison’s math. We make sure every single day of credit is counted so your loved one comes home on the earliest day possible.
Planning Ahead: The prison is supposed to calculate these dates early. We make sure they don’t wait until the last minute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the new BOP Home Confinement Expansion?
It is a directive from BOP Director William Marshall III. It orders prison staff to maximize the use of home confinement to get eligible inmates back to their families faster.
Can my loved one skip the halfway house?
Yes. The new rules allow for “Direct-to-Home” placement. If an inmate does not need the extra supervision of a halfway house, they can often go straight to their home.
What if the halfway house says they are full?
According to the 2025 directive, a lack of beds at a halfway house is no longer a valid reason to keep someone in prison. They should be released to home confinement instead.
How do First Step Act (FSA) credits help?
Inmates can earn credits for good behavior and participating in programs. These credits can be used to shorten prison time and move an inmate to home confinement much earlier.
How can a prison consultant help with this process?
The BOP is often slow to apply new rules. A consultant from Jail Time Consulting advocates for the inmate, ensuring their credits are counted correctly and their paperwork is processed without delay.
