Post-Conviction Anti-Muslim Discrimination

This sentencing enhancement is not backed by any empirical evidence and automatically puts all defendants in a Criminal History Category VI, even when many of these offenders are first-time, non-violent offenders.

Also, many Muslim defendants are given abnormally long terms of supervised release to take effect after their release from custody, with harsh and often unconstitutional conditions. MLFA challenges these conditions and unwarranted sentencing practices.

Even while serving their sentences, many Muslim prisoners encounter miscalculations of their release dates by the Bureau of Prisons when they are erroneously denied certain custody credits, unconstitutionally lengthening the amount of time they spend in prison.

MLFA works with incarcerated prisoners to challenge their incorrect release dates through petitions for a writ of habeas corpus.
