Case Characteristics of Federal Offenders Unlawfully at Large (UAL): Pre- and Post-Sentence Expiry Date (SED)

On any given day, roughly 500 offenders who were conditionally released from federal custody are deemed to be unlawfully at large (UAL). While recent studies have examined the general profile of all UAL offenders, the purpose of this study is to explore differences between those who are UAL whereupon their sentence has not yet expired with those who are still UAL and reached a sentence expiration date.
