Carceral tolling

Definition

A statutory provision (Section 3624(e)) that pauses the running of a supervised release term when the supervisee is imprisoned for another offense. Unlike fugitive tolling, this type of tolling is explicitly written into federal law.

Examples

• •Congress explicitly enacted carceral tolling for supervised release in Section 3624(e) but did not enact an equivalent fugitive-tolling provision, which the petitioner argued was a deliberate omission.
