decarcerates gen.

[crd65227]

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести. Слово встречается в следующем контексте:
One version has already passed the House and the Senate revised its bill to include modest sentencing reforms. So far, some Democrats are non-committal. Other Republicans, notably Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, don’t support the bill because it decarcerates the federal prison population, however slightly.

'to incarcerate (s.o.)' = to imprison (s.o.).
'to decarcerate (a prison/prisons)' = to take people out of (a prison/prisons).
