SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 12 – Benjamin Lucre has
been serving time in FCI
Danbury on a drug conviction.
He applied to be released
under the First Step Act.
On June 12, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Andrew L. Carter held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Lucre's lawyer
noted that FCI Danbury is the
site of one of the worst
COVID-19 outbreaks at BOP
facilities - as of April 15,
at least 44 prisoners and 39
staff members have or had
tested positive for COVID-19.
One inmate died.
Judge
Carter agreed that Lucre
should be released, but only
with a plan - who will pick
him up, and that he be under
18 months of home detention.
The plans are to be filed.
The case is US v.
Lucre, 18-cr-420 (Carter).
