Nothing was reduced here. The BOP lists your estimated release date which includes good time that you have not lost. You serve 85 percent of your sentence in the Feds if you don't lose goodtime. The numbers listed work out to 85% (there is a little bit of wonk in how they BOP calculates this number. It recently got changed as the BOP used math that reduced good time calculations and had to be told how to do math in the First Step act). https://famm.org/wp-content/uploads/faq-federal-good-time-credit.pdf https://famm.org/wp-content/uploads/faq-federal-good-time-cr... There have also been reductions via the First Step act but I don't know how that ended up. You got reductions for working at the Federal slave labor sweatshop (UNICOR) and for 'Programming' (taking their classes) but the BOP was fighting these pretty hard back when I was paying attention to these things a few years ago.

yeah, it is actually a poor deal compared to state crimes, which can have parole.

This would have been a much better response by the Bureau of Prisons than "for privacy, safety and security reasons, our office does not comment on the conditions of confinement for any inmate, including release planning or release plans" [1].

  There's nuance to a different answer and the BOP isn't about nuance. They are about enforcing very rigid fixed rules. I am sure that they have no flexibility in their response ('When asked about release dates, respond with this'). Edit: The saddest thing about this is major reporting outlets have no idea how our prison system works. But I get it. I didn't either until I fell out of the world.

Makes you wonder how bad Gizmodo “journalists” are. Are they really just dumb or malicious?
