My guess is she will get 10. 30 for the crimes, less 10 for being a first time offender and not the ring leader and less 10 for cooperation and contrition.

- bushbaba 4y agoAnd gets out after 5 years for “good behavior”.
- jcampbell1 4y agoThis is federal so it is statutory at 54 days per year max.
- nixgeek 4y agoFederal sentences come with a maximum of 54 days per year [1] of good time credit, and there is no parole when serving federal time. This all but guarantees that a 10 year sentence will result in 102 months of incarceration and release no earlier than that.

- dragonwriter 4y ago> Federal sentences come with a maximum of 54 days per year [1] of good time credit, and there is no parole when serving federal time. Right, to the extent a federal convict has supervised release time, its not “I got out early from my prison sentence” but “I was sentenced to supervised release on top of my prison sentence.”
- A_D_E_P_T 4y agoLook up the recent case of Aaron Singerman. He was sentenced to five years, but was out in ten months. Didn't spend a single Christmas behind bars. Now, this was presumably for some form of cooperation, and the circumstances are unclear -- but it's just not true that the Feds won't let you out early if they feel like it.
- fsckboy 4y agohow could you suspect there would be jailhouse cooperation from a guy they call Singerman? (for non-native English speakers, giving information to the police is called "singing" in early/mid-20th century slang)

Now, this was presumably for some form of cooperation, and the circumstances are unclear -- but it's just not true that the Feds won't let you out early if they feel like it. His sentence was reduced to 36 months in a court action that was publicly reported, and there were several subsequent sealed actions between then and the release. > but it's just not true that the Feds won't let you out early if they feel like it. A reduction in sentence is a very different thing than early release.
- vkou 4y agoThe most you can get off for good behavior in the federal system is 15%. I expect between 0 and 3 years.
