Description

Petitioner Jonah R. spent almost 35 months in detention before he was sentenced to a 30-month term of confinement under the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act ("FJDA"), 18 U.S.C. Â§ 5031 et seq. The Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") calculates sentences for persons, including juveniles like Jonah, remanded to its custody. Pursuant to a recently-adopted policy, the BOP refused to subtract from Jonahs sentence any of the 35 months he spent in pre-sentence custody. The district court rejected Jonahs challenge to this policy. We hold that juveniles must receive credit for pre-sentence custody and accordingly reverse.
