Are you currently on supervised release after finishing your sentence in federal prison?
Now, there’s talk that the supervised release statute will see changes in November 2025.
But, if you’ve been on supervised release for a year or more on a Class C felony or two years or more on a class A or B felony, then you are eligible to ask your judge for early termination of supervision.
To maximize your chances, you should not have failed any drug tests, you should be working, and altogether doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Extracurriculars like volunteering, successfully starting a small business, or providing care for a family member goes a long way to demonstrate that you’re contributing to the community on your own volition.
You might want to ask your probation officer how they feel about it, but it’s not a legal requirement that they’re on board.
At Federal Prison Tips, we’ve helped several clients and posted about them on our social media feeds seeking early termination of probation. In our most recent example, the probation officer did not recommend the client for early termination and the judge still granted the motion!
It’s entirely possible, if you want to file the motion on your own, for you to write the motion as a letter to your judge outlining your successes post-release, how you’ve been rehabilitated, what you’ve been doing, and proving you’ve paid or are paying restitution.
Speaking of which – you can still owe restitution and see your supervised release terminated. We just had a client in that exact situation.
But, if you want to have your motions written and handled by professionals, give us a call: (407) 434-1075.
Our lines are open Monday – Saturday 10:00am to 10:00pm Eastern Time, and Sunday 12:00pm – 7:00pm Eastern Time.
