   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2253
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   Prisoner case - habeas. Bureau of Prison's policy of limiting prisoner 
   placement in Community Corrections Centers to the lesser of six months 
   or ten percent of the prisoner' sentence is based on an erroneous 
   interpretation of 18 U.S.C. Sections 3621(b) and 3624(c) and is invalid; 
   Section 3621(b) gives the Bureau the discretion to transfer prisoners to 
   the centers at any time during their incarceration; the Bureau is required 
   to place prisoners in conditions that will afford them a reasonable 
   opportunity to adjust to and prepare for release into the community 
   during a reasonable part of the last ten percent of their prison term, to 
   the extent practicable; this duty shall not extend beyond the last six months 
   of the prisoner's sentence. Judge Riley, Dissenting.
