Question

Has a new law passed that federal inmates will only serve 65% of their sentance?

Answer 1

Not that I'm aware of...I do know that there is a thing called "good time" which means that inmates can earn a percentage of time off of their sentence for good behavior.  But as far as a standard percentage, I have not heard of that.

Answer 2

In Federal sentencing, it's day for day.....

No good time, no 'early release'.

Nothing's changed, nothing will.

As we call it 'dollar for dollar'....

Answer 3

No. If that were the case, the sentences would change, not percentage time incarcerated.

for example... murder is (most commonly) 20 years. The hypothetical "new" law would change sentencing to (my math is off, bare with me lol) about 11-12 years instead of 20.

jeeez I hope that makes sense, lol... I need coffee!
