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.

Has obama passed the 65 percent federal time law yet?
No
65 percent bill obama signed federal inmates?
This is a rumor that has been spread since 2005, but as far as I can tell, the Federal Sentencing Guidelines have not been changed yet. And a president-- whether Bush or Obama-- cannot change them; congress has to pass new laws about reforming the way federal inmates are sentenced.

What is President Obama doing about Prison Reform and the atrocities being inflicted upon the inmates by Prison Staff and Personelle as well as other inmates?
Nothing. Obama is a fake, and hasn't and won't change anything
Did president Obama change the new law where inmates have to do 65 percent of their time?
Currently, federal inmates serve 85% if they get the 15% knocked off for good behavior. My understanding is that there is a bill going up in November that could change that to 65%. I am really hoping it passes because I get sentenced on October 26th.
Why did Barack Obama go visit inmates in jail or prison?
I am not aware of the president visiting inmates recently, but he used to be an advocate for the poor in Chicago, as well as a lawyer doing legal aid work, so he may have visited inmates during that period of time.
