Supreme Court ruling could send freed man back to 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 may be returned to custody after a US Supreme Court decision interpreting the First Step Act, the 2018 law that narrowed eligibility for compassionate release. The ruling is being reported widely across American outlets, and it raises questions about how retroactively the law's sentencing provisions apply to people already freed.

Why now: A Supreme Court decision with immediate consequences for a freed individual highlights the high stakes of how the First Step Act is interpreted.
