This paper provides an overview of the federal sentencing system. For context, it first briefly discusses the evolution of federal sentencing during the past four decades, including the landmark passage of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 (SRA),1 in which Congress established a new federal sentencing system based primarily on sentencing guidelines, as well as key Supreme Court decisions concerning the guidelines. It then describes the nature of federal sentences today and the process by which such sentences are imposed. The final parts of this paper address appellate review of sentences; the revocation of offenders' terms of probation and supervised release; the process whereby the United States Sentencing Commission (the Commission) amends the guidelines; and the Commission's collection and analysis of sentencing data

This Book is a 2020 republication of the 2018-2019 Federal Sentencing Guidelines, originally published by the United States Sentencing Commission on November 1, 2018. It would be disingenuous to call this publication a 2019-2020 Federal Sentencing Guidelines book, per se, because no amendments or modifications to the 2018-2019 Guidelines were approved in 2019 by the United States Sentencing Commission. Please read the Introduction inside the book description for more information on this unusual phenomenon. THE UNITED STATES SENTENCING COMMISSION DID NOT RELEASE A NEW 2019-2020 FEDERAL SENTENCING GUIDELINES BOOK, OR 2020 SUPPLEMENT. THERE ARE NO 2019-2020 AMENDMENTS TO THE GUIDELINES. AS SUCH, THIS 2018-2019 VERSION WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL AT LEAST NOVEMBER 1, 2020. This 2020 Edition Of The Federal Sentencing Guidelines 2018-2019, includes Chapters 1-8, and All Charts And Tables therein. This is a large desktop book, easy to read as reformatted, and approximately 2" thick. Perfect for an office or reception area.
