In almost all circumstances, the security level of the prison is determined by the "points" measured up in the sentencing guidelines. There can sometimes be "enhancements" (like you used a gun during the crime, or hate speech). There can sometimes be mitigations (like the person taking responsibility for the crime). If you add up all of the crimes SBF was convicted of, the max could be 110 years. It isn't that simple. Sentencing is a complicated thing that could be replaced with a simple spreadsheet. Instead, judges have to do the calculations by hand with charts and checklists. Madoff was sentenced to 150 years.
