Freed Man Could Return to Prison After Supreme Court Ruling

Original: 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 being sent back for life following a Supreme Court ruling interpreting the First Step Act, the 2018 law that reduced sentences for certain federal drug offenses. The decision narrows who qualifies for relief under the act, and the man's case has become an example of its limits.

Why now: A Supreme Court decision on the First Step Act has direct consequences for people released under the law.
