Title: Community Confinement 
Abstract: This rule limits the amount of time that inmates may spend in community confinement (including Community Corrections Centers (CCCs) and home confinement) to the last 10 percent of the prison sentence being served, not to exceed 6 months. The only exceptions to this policy are for inmates in specific statutorily-created programs that authorize greater periods of community confinement (for example, the residential substance abuse treatment program (18 U.S.C. section 3621(e)(2)(A)) or the shock incarceration program (18 U.S.C. section 4046(c)).
