\"Compassionate<\/p>\n

On March 30, 1993, after a jury convicted Walter Williams of four drug distribution related offenses, he was sentenced to a total of 600 months imprisonment and five years of supervised release. His release date was to be April of 2037. Williams, who is currently 56 years old, filed a motion for compassionate release, after two earlier failed compassionate release request attempts made to his warden.<\/p>\n

Williams suffers from HIV<\/a>, which elevates his risk of severe illness or death during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Williams was imprisoned in Kentucky, where according to the CDC website, there have been 10,959 confirmed prisoner cases and 62 deaths of prisoners in the state\u2019s twenty-two correctional institutions. The court recognized that due to his status as HIV positive, he was at risk of a severe outcome if he were to contract COVID-19. Because the Court was satisfied with the seriousness of Williams’ health situation, and determined that the time he already served was a sufficient sentence, the Court granted his request for compassionate release.<\/p>\n

Upon his release, Williams immediately began a five-year term of supervised release, and will be encouraged to take part in rehabilitative programs available to him.<\/p>\n
