The courts routinely allow the chain of custody to be a mess and when you challenge they respond with 'good faith'. Go search Lexus/Nexus for 'good faith' and find that 'chain of custody' really isn't

Correction, you're legal team thinks you can terminate accounts that choose to exercise their rights. That theory has yet to be put to an actual legal challenge. Will be interesting to see the ultimate outcome.

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% (ther
