How does the 65 federal prison law work?
Prisoners under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Prisons must by law serve a minimum of 85% of their minimum sentence. The 65 federal prison law is what the efforts to change that have collectively become known. The latest efforts by federal legislators to change the minimum from 86% to 65% was HR 7089, the Federal Prison Work Incentive Act of 2008. HR 7089 was introduced on 25 September 2008 Democrat Representative Danny Davis of Illinois in an attempt to resurrect the "good time" system that was struck down by the Sentencing Reform Act of 1987 (SRA eliminated federal parole, restricted good time credits, and established federal sentencing guidelines). The bill died in committee and was cleared when the 110th Congress left session. It has not been reintroduced.

yes
Has Obama passed the 65 percent federal inmates law in 2012?
No, he has not. In fact, there have been several efforts over the past few years to reform federal sentencing, but these efforts have not succeeded, since being "tough on crime" is a popular image for politicians, and it's difficult to get votes in favor of prison reform. At this point, federal inmates convicted of a violent crime must serve at least 85 percent of their sentence. Attempts to reduce it to 65% have not yet passed congress.
What vote is needed for a proposal to pass?

Do you pay income tax over 65?
Whether or not you pay income tax after the age of 65 depends on your individual circumstances, such as your sources of income and the amount. Some retiree income, like Social Security benefits, may be taxed at the federal level based on your overall income level. It is best to consult with a tax professional or the IRS for personalized advice.
