Yes i do understandvall of that but if the fbop releases a peron from their custody then is being charged with that crime i dont understand
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) may release a person to a halfway house, but they're still technically in custody. If they leave without permission, it's considered escape, even if they're dealing with personal matters. It's vital to consult an attorney.
