Supreme Court ruling sends freed man back toward prison

Original: A freed man faces life back in prison after a Supreme Court ruling on the First Step Act

A man who had been released from prison now faces returning to serve a life sentence after a US Supreme Court decision interpreting the First Step Act, the 2018 law that narrowed which federal inmates can benefit from sentencing reductions. The ruling is being reported widely across US outlets and has drawn attention to how narrowly the court reads retroactive relief under the act.

Why now: A new Supreme Court decision is narrowing who qualifies for release under the First Step Act, with immediate consequences for a freed man facing life in prison.
