Case Note: Inmate can't bypass BOP regulatory regime to redress attempted rape and then rely on the same conduct to establish extraordinary and compelling circumstances....
In U.S. v. BRUCE STEWART, Defendant., No. CR 02-62 (MN), 2022 WL 4094128 (D. Del. Sept. 7, 2022) (Noreika, J.), the court held that defendant's failure to invoke BOP regulatory regime to address attempted prison rape claim dooms reliance on the conduct to establish extraordinary and compelling circumstances, explaining: "Mr. Stewart was the victim of an attempted prison rape. Although this charge is serious and concerning, the Court is not convinced that it falls within the ambit of “extraordinary and compelling” circumstances that allow for release from an otherwise lawful incarceration. See United States v. Tate, 2022 WL 827256, at *2 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 18, 2022) (“An inmate's reasonable fear of assault by other inmates within the BOP is not an extraordinary or compelling reason for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A).”). Moreover, it appears that Mr. Stewart raised this charge in connection with the instant motion. As the government points out, “there is a large and sophisticated regulatory regime already in place to handle allegations of prisoner rape, none of which has occurred in this case.” (D.I. 278 at 6-7). No investigation has been done, no remedies have been sought under the applicable policies, and no litigation has been filed to substantiate the claims. Thus, at this point, the Court cannot base a finding of extraordinary and compelling reasons on the rape allegations.”
