You will have to petition the Court where this case is recorded with your compelling reason for them to expunge the record. You will need some good fortune on your side and it might help if you can locate someone there that can give you some insight as to the right prosecutor and judge to hear your case. This is not an easy thing to accomplish.

The only "new law" that has been in the news related to inmates getting early release is the First Step Act. The first major date was July 19, 2019, when 3,100 federal inmates were granted early release. In fact, this law is limited to only ten percent of the entire prison population in the country.

Jails do not offer access to methadone and buprenorphine, instead, they require inmates to go through forced withdrawal. Although rare, there are jails and prisons around the country that offer methadone and buprenorphine. The state of Rhode Island has offered both medications to inmates since 2016.

Who "told him this"? For instance, having a pacemaker would not prohibit you from going to federal prison, because they have medical facilities, but we are not sure about SRCCC, but we would doubt that he doesn't have to go in. If it is possible, this would depend on the severity of the crime, the possible danger to the community, and the length of the sentence.
