How long is my supervision under supervised release?

Supervised Release can be up to 5 years, with a few exceptions discussed below.[945] The length is determined by the “Class” of crime for which you were convicted.[946] Find out which “Class” of crime you were convicted of (for example, a Class A Felony, Class B Felony, Class A Misdemeanor, etc.), and see the chart in the Appendix HH, PG. 325, for more information on calculating the length of your time on Supervised Release.

IMPORTANT EXCEPTIONS:

Despite the lengths of Supervised Release listed above, the term length may be up to life if you committed:

    An offense listed in 18 U.S.C. § 2332b(g)(5)(B), which resulted in, or created a foreseeable risk of, death or serious bodily injury to another person; ORA sex offense— for these commitment offenses, the maximum term of supervised release as allowed by statute is recommended.
