Bill overview
The Emergency GRACE Act aims to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in federal and state prisons by expanding access to compassionate and furlough releases for inmates at high risk, particularly older individuals with serious medical conditions. It provides emergency funding for states to test inmates and facilitate releases based on age and health, and mandates that federal prisons follow CDC guidelines for safety. The bill also adjusts sentencing guidelines and provides for Medicaid coverage for inmates during their release period.
