(a) Pre-judgment Probation. - If a person found guilty of an

offense described in section 404 of the Controlled Substances Act

(21 U.S.C. 844) -

(1) has not, prior to the commission of such offense, been

convicted of violating a Federal or State law relating to

controlled substances; and

(2) has not previously been the subject of a disposition under

this subsection;

the court may, with the consent of such person, place him on

probation for a term of not more than one year without entering a

judgment of conviction. At any time before the expiration of the

term of probation, if the person has not violated a condition of

his probation, the court may, without entering a judgment of

conviction, dismiss the proceedings against the person and

discharge him from probation. At the expiration of the term of

probation, if the person has not violated a condition of his

probation, the court shall, without entering a judgment of

conviction, dismiss the proceedings against the person and

discharge him from probation. If the person violates a condition

of his probation, the court shall proceed in accordance with the

provisions of section 3565.

(b) Record of Disposition. - A nonpublic record of a disposition

under subsection (a), or a conviction that is the subject of an

expungement order under subsection (c), shall be retained by the

Department of Justice solely for the purpose of use by the courts

in determining in any subsequent proceeding whether a person

qualifies for the disposition provided in subsection (a) or the

expungement provided in subsection (c). A disposition under

subsection (a), or a conviction that is the subject of an

expungement order under subsection (c), shall not be considered a

conviction for the purpose of a disqualification or a disability

imposed by law upon conviction of a crime, or for any other

purpose.

(c) Expungement of Record of Disposition. - If the case against a

person found guilty of an offense under section 404 of the

Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 844) is the subject of a

disposition under subsection (a), and the person was less than

twenty-one years old at the time of the offense, the court shall

enter an expungement order upon the application of such person.

The expungement order shall direct that there be expunged from all

official records, except the nonpublic records referred to in

subsection (b), all references to his arrest for the offense, the

institution of criminal proceedings against him, and the results

thereof. The effect of the order shall be to restore such person,

in the contemplation of the law, to the status he occupied before

such arrest or institution of criminal proceedings. A person

concerning whom such an order has been entered shall not be held

thereafter under any provision of law to be guilty of perjury,

false swearing, or making a false statement by reason of his

failure to recite or acknowledge such arrests or institution of

criminal proceedings, or the results thereof, in response to an

inquiry made of him for any purpose.

full before the fifteenth day after the date of the judgment. If

that day is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal public holiday, the

defendant shall be liable for interest beginning with the next

day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal public holiday.

(2) Computation. - Interest on a fine shall be computed -

(A) daily (from the first day on which the defendant is

liable for interest under paragraph (1)); and

(B) at a rate equal to the weekly average 1-year constant

maturity Treasury yield, as published by the Board of Governors

of the Federal Reserve System, for the calendar week preceding

percent of the principal amount that is in default.

Attorney General may waive all or part of any interest or penalty

imposed under any prior law if, as determined by the Attorney

General, reasonable efforts to collect the interest or penalty are

not likely to be effective.

Sec. 3613. Civil remedies for satisfaction of an unpaid fine

-STATUTE-

(a) Enforcement. - The United States may enforce a judgment

imposing a fine in accordance with the practices and procedures for

the enforcement of a civil judgment under Federal law or State

law. Notwithstanding any other Federal law (including section 207

of the Social Security Act), a judgment imposing a fine may be

enforced against all property or rights to property of the person

fined, except that -

(1) property exempt from levy for taxes pursuant to section

6334(a)(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (10), and (12) of

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be exempt from

enforcement of the judgment under Federal law;

(2) section 3014 of chapter 176 of title 28 shall not apply to

enforcement under Federal law; and

(3) the provisions of section 303 of the Consumer Credit

Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 1673) shall apply to enforcement of the

judgment under Federal law or State law.

(b) Termination of Liability. - The liability to pay a fine shall

terminate the later of 20 years from the entry of judgment or 20

years after the release from imprisonment of the person fined, or

upon the death of the individual fined.

(c) Lien. - A fine imposed pursuant to the provisions of

subchapter C of chapter 227 of this title, or an order of

restitution made pursuant to sections (FOOTNOTE 1) 2248, 2259,

2264, 2327, 3663, 3663A, or 3664 of this title, is a lien in favor

of the United States on all property and rights to property of the

person fined as if the liability of the person fined were a

liability for a tax assessed under the Internal Revenue Code of

1986. The lien arises on the entry of judgment and continues for 20

years or until the liability is satisfied, remitted, set aside, or

is terminated under subsection (b).

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be ''section''.

(d) Effect of Filing Notice of Lien. - Upon filing of a notice of

lien in the manner in which a notice of tax lien would be filed

under section 6323(f)(1) and (2) of the Internal Revenue Code of

1986, the lien shall be valid against any purchaser, holder of a

security interest, mechanic's lienor or judgment lien creditor,

except with respect to properties or transactions specified in

subsection (b), (c), or (d) of section 6323 of the Internal Revenue

Code of 1986 for which a notice of tax lien properly filed on the

same date would not be valid. The notice of lien shall be

considered a notice of lien for taxes payable to the United States

for the purpose of any State or local law providing for the filing

of a notice of a tax lien. A notice of lien that is registered,

recorded, docketed, or indexed in accordance with the rules and

requirements relating to judgments of the courts of the State where

the notice of lien is registered, recorded, docketed, or indexed

shall be considered for all purposes as the filing prescribed by

this section. The provisions of section 3201(e) of chapter 176 of

title 28 shall apply to liens filed as prescribed by this section.

(e) Discharge of Debt Inapplicable. - No discharge of debts in a

proceeding pursuant to any chapter of title 11, United States Code,

shall discharge liability to pay a fine pursuant to this section,

and a lien filed as prescribed by this section shall not be voided

in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(f) Applicability to Order of Restitution. - In accordance with

section 3664(m)(1)(A) of this title, all provisions of this section

are available to the United States for the enforcement of an order

of restitution.

CHAPTER 229 - POSTSENTENCE ADMINISTRATION

SUBCHAPTER C - IMPRISONMENT

-HEAD-

Sec. 3621. Imprisonment of a convicted person

-STATUTE-

(a) Commitment to Custody of Bureau of Prisons. - A person who

has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment pursuant to the

provisions of subchapter D of chapter 227 shall be committed to the

custody of the Bureau of Prisons until the expiration of the term

imposed, or until earlier released for satisfactory behavior

pursuant to the provisions of section 3624.

(b) Place of Imprisonment. - The Bureau of Prisons shall

designate the place of the prisoner's imprisonment. The Bureau may

designate any available penal or correctional facility that meets

minimum standards of health and habitability established by the

Bureau, whether maintained by the Federal Government or otherwise

and whether within or without the judicial district in which the

person was convicted, that the Bureau determines to be appropriate

and suitable, considering -

(1) the resources of the facility contemplated;

(2) the nature and circumstances of the offense;

(3) the history and characteristics of the prisoner;

(4) any statement by the court that imposed the sentence -

(A) concerning the purposes for which the sentence to

imprisonment was determined to be warranted; or

(B) recommending a type of penal or correctional facility as

appropriate; and

(5) any pertinent policy statement issued by the Sentencing

Commission pursuant to section 994(a)(2) of title 28.

In designating the place of imprisonment or making transfers under

this subsection, there shall be no favoritism given to prisoners of

high social or economic status. The Bureau may at any time, having

regard for the same matters, direct the transfer of a prisoner from

one penal or correctional facility to another. The Bureau shall

make available appropriate substance abuse treatment for each

prisoner the Bureau determines has a treatable condition of

substance addiction or abuse.

(c) Delivery of Order of Commitment. - When a prisoner, pursuant

to a court order, is placed in the custody of a person in charge of

a penal or correctional facility, a copy of the order shall be

delivered to such person as evidence of this authority to hold the

prisoner, and the original order, with the return endorsed thereon,

shall be returned to the court that issued it.

(d) Delivery of Prisoner for Court Appearances. - The United

States marshal shall, without charge, bring a prisoner into court

or return him to a prison facility on order of a court of the

United States or on written request of an attorney for the

Government.

(e) Substance Abuse Treatment. -

(1) Phase-in. - In order to carry out the requirement of the

last sentence of subsection (b) of this section, that every

prisoner with a substance abuse problem have the opportunity to

participate in appropriate substance abuse treatment, the Bureau

of Prisons shall, subject to the availability of appropriations,

provide residential substance abuse treatment (and make

arrangements for appropriate aftercare) -

(A) for not less than 50 percent of eligible prisoners by the

end of fiscal year 1995, with priority for such treatment

accorded based on an eligible prisoner's proximity to release

date;

(B) for not less than 75 percent of eligible prisoners by the

end of fiscal year 1996, with priority for such treatment

accorded based on an eligible prisoner's proximity to release

date; and

(C) for all eligible prisoners by the end of fiscal year 1997

and thereafter, with priority for such treatment accorded based

on an eligible prisoner's proximity to release date.

(2) Incentive for prisoners' successful completion of treatment

program. -

(A) Generally. - Any prisoner who, in the judgment of the

Director of the Bureau of Prisons, has successfully completed a

program of residential substance abuse treatment provided under

paragraph (1) of this subsection, shall remain in the custody

of the Bureau under such conditions as the Bureau deems

appropriate. If the conditions of confinement are different

from those the prisoner would have experienced absent the

successful completion of the treatment, the Bureau shall

periodically test the prisoner for substance abuse and

discontinue such conditions on determining that substance abuse

has recurred.

(B) Period of custody. - The period a prisoner convicted of a

nonviolent offense remains in custody after successfully

completing a treatment program may be reduced by the Bureau of

Prisons, but such reduction may not be more than one year from

the term the prisoner must otherwise serve.

(3) Report. - The Bureau of Prisons shall transmit to the

Committees on the Judiciary of the Senate and the House of

Representatives on January 1, 1995, and on January 1 of each year

thereafter, a report. Such report shall contain -

(A) a detailed quantitative and qualitative description of

each substance abuse treatment program, residential or not,

operated by the Bureau;

(B) a full explanation of how eligibility for such programs

is determined, with complete information on what proportion of

prisoners with substance abuse problems are eligible; and

(C) a complete statement of to what extent the Bureau has

achieved compliance with the requirements of this title.

(4) Authorization of appropriations. - There are authorized to

be appropriated to carry out this subsection -

(A) $13,500,000 for fiscal year 1996;

(B) $18,900,000 for fiscal year 1997;

(C) $25,200,000 for fiscal year 1998;

(D) $27,000,000 for fiscal year 1999; and

(E) $27,900,000 for fiscal year 2000.

(5) Definitions. - As used in this subsection -

(A) the term ''residential substance abuse treatment'' means

a course of individual and group activities, lasting between 6

and 12 months, in residential treatment facilities set apart

from the general prison population -

(i) directed at the substance abuse problems of the

prisoner; and

(ii) intended to develop the prisoner's cognitive,

behavioral, social, vocational, and other skills so as to

solve the prisoner's substance abuse and related problems;

(B) the term ''eligible prisoner'' means a prisoner who is -

(i) determined by the Bureau of Prisons to have a substance

abuse problem; and

(ii) willing to participate in a residential substance

abuse treatment program; and

(C) the term ''aftercare'' means placement, case management

and monitoring of the participant in a community-based

substance abuse treatment program when the participant leaves

the custody of the Bureau of Prisons.

(6) Coordination of federal assistance. - The Bureau of Prisons

shall consult with the Department of Health and Human Services

concerning substance abuse treatment and related services and the

incorporation of applicable components of existing comprehensive

approaches including relapse prevention and aftercare services.

any pertinent policy statement issued by the Sentencing Commission

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a)(2), if such release otherwise appears

to be consistent with the public interest and if there is

reasonable cause to believe that a prisoner will honor the trust to

EX. ORD. NO. 11755. PRISON LABOR

Ex. Ord. No. 11755, Dec. 29, 1973, 39 F.R. 779, as amended by Ex.

Ord. No. 12608, Sept. 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617; Ex. Ord. No. 12943,

Dec. 13, 1994, 59 F.R. 64553, provided:

The development of the occupational and educational skills of

prison inmates is essential to their rehabilitation and to their

ability to make an effective return to free society. Meaningful

employment serves to develop those skills. It is also true,

however, that care must be exercised to avoid either the

exploitation of convict labor or any unfair competition between

convict labor and free labor in the production of goods and

services.

Under sections 3621 and 3622 of title 18, United States Code, the

Bureau of Prisons is empowered to authorize Federal prisoners to

work at paid employment in the community during their terms of

imprisonment under conditions that protect against both the

exploitation of convict labor and unfair competition with free

labor.

Several states and other jurisdictions have similar laws or

regulations under which individuals confined for violations of the

laws of those places may be authorized to work at paid employment

in the community.

Executive Order No. 325A, which was originally issued by

President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, prohibits the employment, in

the performance of Federal contracts, of any person who is serving

a sentence of imprisonment at hard labor imposed by a court of a

State, territory, or municipality.

I have now determined that Executive Order No. 325A should be

replaced with a new Executive Order which would permit the

employment of non-Federal prison inmates in the performance of

Federal contracts under terms and conditions that are comparable to

those now applicable to inmates of Federal prisons.

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority vested in me as

President of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. (a) All contracts involving the use of appropriated

funds which shall hereafter be entered into by any department or

agency of the executive branch for performance in any State, the

District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin

Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern

Mariana Islands, or the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands

shall, unless otherwise provided by law, contain a stipulation

forbidding in the performance of such contracts, the employment of

persons undergoing sentences of imprisonment which have been

imposed by any court of a State, the District of Columbia, the

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American

Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the

Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. This limitation, however,

shall not prohibit the employment by a contractor in the

performance of such contracts of persons on parole or probation to

work at paid employment during the term of their sentence or

persons who have been pardoned or who have served their terms. Nor

shall it prohibit the employment by a contractor in the performance

of such contracts of persons confined for violation of the laws of

any of the States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of

Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Trust

Territory of the Pacific Islands who are authorized to work at paid

employment in the community under the laws of such jurisdiction, if

(1)(A) The worker is paid or is in an approved work training

program on a voluntary basis;

(B) Representatives of local union central bodies or similar

labor union organizations have been consulted;

(C) Such paid employment will not result in the displacement of

employed workers, or be applied in skills, crafts, or trades in

which there is a surplus of available gainful labor in the

locality, or impair existing contracts for services; and

(D) The rates of pay and other conditions of employment will not

be less than those paid or provided for work of a similar nature in

the locality in which the work is being performed; and

(2) The Attorney General has certified that the work-release laws

or regulations of the jurisdiction involved are in conformity with

the requirements of this order.

(b) After notice and opportunity for hearing, the Attorney

General shall revoke any such certification under section 1(a)(2)

if he finds that the work-release program of the jurisdiction

involved is not being conducted in conformity with the requirements

of this order or with its intent or purposes.

(c) The provisions of this order do not apply to purchases made

under the micropurchase authority contained in section 32 of the

Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S.C.

428).

Sec. 2. The Federal Procurement Regulations, the Armed Services

Procurement Regulations, and to the extent necessary, any

supplemental or comparable regulations issued by any agency of the

executive branch shall be revised to reflect the policy prescribed

by this order.

Sec. 3. Executive Order No. 325A is hereby superseded.

Sec. 4. This order shall be effective as of January 1, 1974.

Sec. 3624. Release of a prisoner

-STATUTE-

(a) Date of Release. - A prisoner shall be released by the Bureau

of Prisons on the date of the expiration of the prisoner's term of

imprisonment, less any time credited toward the service of the

prisoner's sentence as provided in subsection (b). If the date for

a prisoner's release falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal

holiday at the place of confinement, the prisoner may be released

by the Bureau on the last preceding weekday.

(b) Credit Toward Service of Sentence for Satisfactory Behavior.

- (1) Subject to paragraph (2), a prisoner who is serving a term of

imprisonment of more than 1 year (FOOTNOTE 1) other than a term of

imprisonment for the duration of the prisoner's life, may receive

credit toward the service of the prisoner's sentence, beyond the

time served, of up to 54 days at the end of each year of the

prisoner's term of imprisonment, beginning at the end of the first

year of the term, subject to determination by the Bureau of Prisons

that, during that year, the prisoner has displayed exemplary

compliance with institutional disciplinary regulations. Subject to

paragraph (2), if the Bureau determines that, during that year, the

prisoner has not satisfactorily complied with such institutional

regulations, the prisoner shall receive no such credit toward

service of the prisoner's sentence or shall receive such lesser

credit as the Bureau determines to be appropriate. In awarding

credit under this section, the Bureau shall consider whether the

prisoner, during the relevant period, has earned, or is making

satisfactory progress toward earning, a high school diploma or an

equivalent degree. Credit that has not been earned may not later

be granted. Subject to paragraph (2), credit for the last year or

portion of a year of the term of imprisonment shall be prorated and

credited within the last six weeks of the sentence.

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be followed by a

comma.

(2) Notwithstanding any other law, credit awarded under this

subsection after the date of enactment of the Prison Litigation

Reform Act shall vest on the date the prisoner is released from

custody.

(3) The Attorney General shall ensure that the Bureau of Prisons

has in effect an optional General Educational Development program

for inmates who have not earned a high school diploma or its

equivalent.

(4) Exemptions to the General Educational Development requirement

may be made as deemed appropriate by the Director of the Federal

Bureau of Prisons.

(c) Pre-Release Custody. - The Bureau of Prisons shall, to the

extent practicable, assure that a prisoner serving a term of

imprisonment spends a reasonable part, not to exceed six months, of

the last 10 per centum of the term to be served under conditions

that will afford the prisoner a reasonable opportunity to adjust to

and prepare for the prisoner's re-entry into the community. The

authority provided by this subsection may be used to place a

prisoner in home confinement. The United States Probation System

shall, to the extent practicable, offer assistance to a prisoner

during such pre-release custody.

(d) Allotment of Clothing, Funds, and Transportation. - Upon the

release of a prisoner on the expiration of the prisoner's term of

imprisonment, the Bureau of Prisons shall furnish the prisoner with

-

(1) suitable clothing;

(2) an amount of money, not more than $500, determined by the

Director to be consistent with the needs of the offender and the

public interest, unless the Director determines that the

financial position of the offender is such that no sum should be

includes a term of supervised release after imprisonment shall be

released by the Bureau of Prisons to the supervision of a probation

officer who shall, during the term imposed, supervise the person

released to the degree warranted by the conditions specified by the

sentencing court. The term of supervised release commences on the

day the person is released from imprisonment and runs concurrently

with any Federal, State, or local term of probation or supervised

release or parole for another offense to which the person is

subject or becomes subject during the term of supervised release.

A term of supervised release does not run during any period in

which the person is imprisoned in connection with a conviction for

a Federal, State, or local crime unless the imprisonment is for a

period of less than 30 consecutive days. No prisoner shall be

released on supervision unless such prisoner agrees to adhere to an

installment schedule, not to exceed two years except in special

circumstances, to pay for any fine imposed for the offense

committed by such prisoner.

(f) Mandatory Functional Literacy Requirement. -

(1) The Attorney General shall direct the Bureau of Prisons to

have in effect a mandatory functional literacy program for all

(2) Each mandatory functional literacy program shall include a

requirement that each inmate participate in such program for a

mandatory period sufficient to provide the inmate with an

adequate opportunity to achieve functional literacy, and

appropriate incentives which lead to successful completion of

such programs shall be developed and implemented.

(3) As used in this section, the term ''functional literacy''

means -

(A) an eighth grade equivalence in reading and mathematics on

a nationally recognized standardized test;

(B) functional competency or literacy on a nationally

recognized criterion-referenced test; or

(C) a combination of subparagraphs (A) and (B).

(4) Non-English speaking inmates shall be required to

participate in an English-As-A-Second-Language program until they

function at the equivalence of the eighth grade on a nationally

recognized educational achievement test.

authority to grant waivers for good cause as determined and

documented on an individual basis.

-HEAD-

Sec. 3626. Appropriate remedies with respect to prison conditions

-STATUTE-

(a) Requirements for Relief. -

(1) Prospective relief. - (A) Prospective relief in any civil

action with respect to prison conditions shall extend no further

than necessary to correct the violation of the Federal right of a

particular plaintiff or plaintiffs. The court shall not grant or

approve any prospective relief unless the court finds that such

relief is narrowly drawn, extends no further than necessary to

correct the violation of the Federal right, and is the least

intrusive means necessary to correct the violation of the Federal

right. The court shall give substantial weight to any adverse

impact on public safety or the operation of a criminal justice

system caused by the relief.

(B) The court shall not order any prospective relief that

requires or permits a government official to exceed his or her

authority under State or local law or otherwise violates State or

local law, unless -

(i) Federal law requires such relief to be ordered in

violation of State or local law;

(ii) the relief is necessary to correct the violation of a

Federal right; and

(iii) no other relief will correct the violation of the

Federal right.

(C) Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the

courts, in exercising their remedial powers, to order the

construction of prisons or the raising of taxes, or to repeal or

detract from otherwise applicable limitations on the remedial

powers of the courts.

(2) Preliminary injunctive relief. - In any civil action with

respect to prison conditions, to the extent otherwise authorized

by law, the court may enter a temporary restraining order or an

order for preliminary injunctive relief. Preliminary injunctive

relief must be narrowly drawn, extend no further than necessary

to correct the harm the court finds requires preliminary relief,

and be the least intrusive means necessary to correct that harm.

The court shall give substantial weight to any adverse impact on

public safety or the operation of a criminal justice system

caused by the preliminary relief and shall respect the principles

of comity set out in paragraph (1)(B) in tailoring any

preliminary relief. Preliminary injunctive relief shall

automatically expire on the date that is 90 days after its entry,

unless the court makes the findings required under subsection

(a)(1) for the entry of prospective relief and makes the order

final before the expiration of the 90-day period.

(3) Prisoner release order. - (A) In any civil action with

respect to prison conditions, no court shall enter a prisoner

release order unless -

(i) a court has previously entered an order for less

intrusive relief that has failed to remedy the deprivation of

the Federal right sought to be remedied through the prisoner

release order; and

(ii) the defendant has had a reasonable amount of time to

comply with the previous court orders.

(B) In any civil action in Federal court with respect to prison

conditions, a prisoner release order shall be entered only by a

three-judge court in accordance with section 2284 of title 28, if

the requirements of subparagraph (E) have been met.

(C) A party seeking a prisoner release order in Federal court

shall file with any request for such relief, a request for a

three-judge court and materials sufficient to demonstrate that

the requirements of subparagraph (A) have been met.

(D) If the requirements under subparagraph (A) have been met, a

Federal judge before whom a civil action with respect to prison

conditions is pending who believes that a prison release order

should be considered may sua sponte request the convening of a

three-judge court to determine whether a prisoner release order

should be entered.

(E) The three-judge court shall enter a prisoner release order

only if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that -

(i) crowding is the primary cause of the violation of a

Federal right; and

(ii) no other relief will remedy the violation of the Federal

right.

(F) Any State or local official including a legislator or unit

of government whose jurisdiction or function includes the

appropriation of funds for the construction, operation, or

maintenance of prison facilities, or the prosecution or custody

of persons who may be released from, or not admitted to, a prison

as a result of a prisoner release order shall have standing to

oppose the imposition or continuation in effect of such relief

and to seek termination of such relief, and shall have the right

to intervene in any proceeding relating to such relief.

(b) Termination of Relief. -

(1) Termination of prospective relief. - (A) In any civil

action with respect to prison conditions in which prospective

relief is ordered, such relief shall be terminable upon the

motion of any party or intervener -

(i) 2 years after the date the court granted or approved the

prospective relief;

(ii) 1 year after the date the court has entered an order

denying termination of prospective relief under this paragraph;

or

(iii) in the case of an order issued on or before the date of

enactment of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 2 years after

such date of enactment.

(B) Nothing in this section shall prevent the parties from

agreeing to terminate or modify relief before the relief is

terminated under subparagraph (A).

(2) Immediate termination of prospective relief. - In any civil

action with respect to prison conditions, a defendant or

intervener shall be entitled to the immediate termination of any

prospective relief if the relief was approved or granted in the

absence of a finding by the court that the relief is narrowly

drawn, extends no further than necessary to correct the violation

of the Federal right, and is the least intrusive means necessary

to correct the violation of the Federal right.

(3) Limitation. - Prospective relief shall not terminate if the

court makes written findings based on the record that prospective

relief remains necessary to correct a current and ongoing

violation of the Federal right, extends no further than necessary

to correct the violation of the Federal right, and that the

prospective relief is narrowly drawn and the least intrusive

means to correct the violation.

(4) Termination or modification of relief. - Nothing in this

section shall prevent any party or intervener from seeking

modification or termination before the relief is terminable under

paragraph (1) or (2), to the extent that modification or

termination would otherwise be legally permissible.

(c) Settlements. -

(1) Consent decrees. - In any civil action with respect to

prison conditions, the court shall not enter or approve a consent

decree unless it complies with the limitations on relief set

forth in subsection (a).

(2) Private settlement agreements. - (A) Nothing in this

section shall preclude parties from entering into a private

settlement agreement that does not comply with the limitations on

relief set forth in subsection (a), if the terms of that

agreement are not subject to court enforcement other than the

reinstatement of the civil proceeding that the agreement settled.

(B) Nothing in this section shall preclude any party claiming

that a private settlement agreement has been breached from

seeking in State court any remedy available under State law.

(d) State Law Remedies. - The limitations on remedies in this

section shall not apply to relief entered by a State court based

solely upon claims arising under State law.

(e) Procedure for Motions Affecting Prospective Relief. -

(1) Generally. - The court shall promptly rule on any motion to

modify or terminate prospective relief in a civil action with

respect to prison conditions. Mandamus shall lie to remedy any

failure to issue a prompt ruling on such a motion.

(2) Automatic stay. - Any motion to modify or terminate

prospective relief made under subsection (b) shall operate as a

stay during the period -

(A)(i) beginning on the 30th day after such motion is filed,

in the case of a motion made under paragraph (1) or (2) of

subsection (b); or

(ii) beginning on the 180th day after such motion is filed,

in the case of a motion made under any other law; and

(B) ending on the date the court enters a final order ruling

on the motion.

(3) Postponement of automatic stay. - The court may postpone

the effective date of an automatic stay specified in subsection

(e)(2)(A) for not more than 60 days for good cause. No

postponement shall be permissible because of general congestion

of the court's calendar.

(4) Order blocking the automatic stay. - Any order staying,

suspending, delaying, or barring the operation of the automatic

stay described in paragraph (2) (other than an order to postpone

the effective date of the automatic stay under paragraph (3))

shall be treated as an order refusing to dissolve or modify an

injunction and shall be appealable pursuant to section 1292(a)(1)

of title 28, United States Code, regardless of how the order is

styled or whether the order is termed a preliminary or a final

ruling.

(f) Special Masters. -

(1) In general. - (A) In any civil action in a Federal court

with respect to prison conditions, the court may appoint a

special master who shall be disinterested and objective and who

will give due regard to the public safety, to conduct hearings on

the record and prepare proposed findings of fact.

(B) The court shall appoint a special master under this

subsection during the remedial phase of the action only upon a

finding that the remedial phase will be sufficiently complex to

warrant the appointment.

(2) Appointment. - (A) If the court determines that the

appointment of a special master is necessary, the court shall

request that the defendant institution and the plaintiff each

submit a list of not more than 5 persons to serve as a special

master.

(B) Each party shall have the opportunity to remove up to 3

persons from the opposing party's list.

(C) The court shall select the master from the persons

remaining on the list after the operation of subparagraph (B).

(3) Interlocutory appeal. - Any party shall have the right to

an interlocutory appeal of the judge's selection of the special

master under this subsection, on the ground of partiality.

(4) Compensation. - The compensation to be allowed to a special

master under this section shall be based on an hourly rate not

greater than the hourly rate established under section 3006A for

payment of court-appointed counsel, plus costs reasonably

incurred by the special master. Such compensation and costs

shall be paid with funds appropriated to the Judiciary.

(5) Regular review of appointment. - In any civil action with

respect to prison conditions in which a special master is

appointed under this subsection, the court shall review the

appointment of the special master every 6 months to determine

whether the services of the special master continue to be

required under paragraph (1). In no event shall the appointment

of a special master extend beyond the termination of the relief.

(6) Limitations on powers and duties. - A special master

appointed under this subsection -

(A) may be authorized by a court to conduct hearings and

prepare proposed findings of fact, which shall be made on the

record;

(B) shall not make any findings or communications ex parte;

(C) may be authorized by a court to assist in the development

of remedial plans; and

(D) may be removed at any time, but shall be relieved of the

appointment upon the termination of relief.
