∙ 12y agoMy answer is 65%.
Added: There is no rule-of-thumb on this figure - it can vary from state-to-state and depends on the sentence of the court and/or the statutory limit on that sentence. For example: Someone sentenced to 20 years without the possibility of parole will serve twenty FULL years.

∙ 11y agoIt is a pipe dream conjured up by federal inmates that has been rumored to becoming a law for the past 30 years. Federal inmates currently serve 86% and the 65% dream is exactly that...a dream. No senator or law maker wants to be seen as "weak on crime" and so, he or she will never put their name on such a bill, even if one did exist.

∙ 11y agoThat is what im trying to find out because my husband offender Bryan Chamblee has a sentence of 17 years with mdoc, however my husband has been well behaved and i believe with all my heart that he's learned his lesson and i will do what i can to bring him home we have two children and they need their father i need him at home helping me as he should be. I live with his mother and father in Grenada MS and they are helping me with kids to get what they need because its so hard to find a job and i have no one to watch the boys its very frustrating to be out here doing this alone i shouldnt be he should be at home working and we should be caring for our family by ourselves but all i can do is pray that God hears my prayers all i want is for him to be giving a second chance and hopefully everyone could see what i see in him he is ready to be home with his family so whoever is in charge of changing the laws please give it some thought and make the right decision it would really change our lives . thank you , Kelly chamblee

∙ 11y agoNo, it has not. This is an internet myth that circulates on a regular basis. The president cannot pass such a law-- only congress can-- and there is little evidence that federal sentencing guidelines are going to change in the near future, even though many people wish they would.

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.
