Zusammenfassung:	[...]making the "Fair Sentencing Act of 2010" retroactive would result in thousands of additional inmates petitioning the courts for sentence reduction hearings. [...]shorter sentences will result in inmates commencing terms of supervised release sooner than originally forecast, which would have an effect on resources required. Supervision and court costs are just a fraction of prison costs. [...]it would be possible to use a portion of the savings generated by reducing the inmate population to pay for the judiciary's expanded activities in supervising offenders in the community.
