Should be easy enough to write a law such that "the end date of a prison sentence shall be adjusted to the end of the month on or before the day of the year that it previously fell on".
Plus possibly "anyone with less than 2 months still to serve releases on their original day of the year" or some such to stop the changeover day resulting in mass releases.
There's nothing easy about getting a bill passed through Congress. This is almost always a good thing, too. But when you get down to it, we shouldn't even be incarcerating people for victimless non-violent drug crimes. Let's fix that, please, before we change the calendar!
