The Sentencing Commission has just released a new "Fast Facts" focused on adult felony counts sentenced between 2018 and 2024 that were eligible for a YRA sentence. The YRA provides judges with additional discretion when sentencing a "youth offender" who was under the age of 25 at the time of the commission of an offense other than Murder, First Degree Murder that Constitutes an Act of Terrorism, Second Degree Murder that Constitutes an Act of Terrorism, First Degree Sexual Abuse, Second Degree Sexual Abuse, and First Degree Child Sexual Abuse, including if the offense was committed While Armed. When a YRA sentence is legally available, whether sentencing pursuant to the YRA is appropriate entirely within the sentencing judge's discretion. Please note that the data used in this publication is live data, meaning that it is continuously updated and therefore may not exactly match the data included in prior Commission publications. Additionally, the data only includes original sentences. Therefore, the information does not include felony sentences following a remand from the Court of Appeals, a probation revocation, the granting of an Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act motion, or other post-sentencing modifications.
