Federal prison sentances are straight time in the US. 16 months is 16 months.

Alcatraz was considered "Bad" due to its Isolation, boredom, and prisoner's constant desire to escape to the mainland.

i think it depends on what you poach or kill in california if your caught shooting a bear or deer out of season you'll get charged with a 25000 dollar fined and you have to make a choice about your sentence its eaither 30 years in prison or 5 years in jail

Such information is usually only available to the inmate's victims, family members, law enforcement and those who qualify under "need to know" guidelines. States enact regulations concerning what information can be released, the general requirement is those persons who qualify must attend the parole hearing. In some states it is possible to obtain certain information by contacting the prison authority's release and processing division. All states have victim support organizations which will aid a victim and/or family members in obtaining information concerning the inmate's behavior, treatment programs, parole hearing dates, and so forth.

Yes.

To close Gitmo was one of Obama's campaign promises, but he never followed through on it.

In Maryland, the sentence for first-degree murder is life without parole, or 25 years to life. Maryland has abolished the death penalty. The punishment for second-degree murder is not more than 30-years.

Yes you can. The process is different because one individual is incarcerated and would not be able to attend the court precedings. You can send the divorce papers to them through the mail yourself or have it sent through a lawyers office as legal mail. The incarcerated individual would then sign the papers and send them back so that your can file the papers with the court and get your divorce.

The longest jail sentence ever recorded was that of Dudley Wayne Kyzer (Tuscaloosa, AL.) Kyzer received 10,000 years plus 2 life sentences for killing 3 people. Those people were, his wife, Diane Kyzer, his Mother-In-Law, Eunice Barringer, and a college student, Rick Pyron. Kyzer was also involved in a killing 53 years ago of a friend at a sandlot baseball game. People say that Marty Turek was struck in the head with a baseball bat and died 24 hours later from Strep Meningitis. It was caused by the fracture in his skull. Kyzer is now

You will be in jail for 8 years, unless you are let out on parole or good behavior.

No

1 year and a half

he was sentenced to 40 years in NY and 30 years in NJ but he ratted on so many people he only served 15 years in protective custody he is responsible for thousands of deaths and many more broken lives

It really depends on your state, I live in Ky, here you would pull just over 3 years of a 4 year sentence.

The best way to find out why a person is serving prison time is to ask the person what happened. In many cases you can also look up the person's name in the prison system and see why he or she is there, but not all states allow that, so if the person won't tell you it may be impossible for you to find out.

Federal time is one for one or day for day time. For each day you serve consecutively without disciplinary action, one day is removed from your time. So, if you walk in the bubble on day one and never receive a ticket, you could potentially walk out three years later on a six year sentence.

This is the science of penology, and it is practiced by the penologist. It might be looked at as a subtopic of criminology, or it may be looked at as a related field of study. A link can be found below.

Defeo is up for parole in 07/2009, which means that yes, he can be released if the parole board agrees. All you have to do is look him up on the NY state website. It allows you to look every inmate in the state up and when they can be released.

Ronald DeFeo Jr., born in 1951, is still alive and well. He currently resides in a New York correctional facility.

Varies from state to state, but it is a felony offense which means a year or more in prison.

yes they do shower on a daily basis UNLESS they are a management problem and housed in seg housing, if that is the case than a person will shower every other day.

my addition to the above written by another person is that in ad seg or a SHU (secure houseing unit) people often improvise by having what is known as a "birdbath" - they sit on the toilet & pour water over themselves useing a milk carton or other similar container. Often depending on staffing levels and the level of security required to take the inmate outside of his/her cell/house it is just not possible for all to shower each day, as in some max security prisons it is not safe to allow the inmates close contact with other inmates, and thus all to & from cell trips must be taken in handcuffs.

Of course in the case of a min or med security prison showers are much easier to come by. It (and all other priviledges) depend on the security level that the prison yard is (in the US levels 1, 2, 3 & 4) & levels of staff available to maintain said security. This may sound harsh, but it can in some cases be literally lifesaving as violence is a fact of prison life.

Because, like everyone who is sent to prison he was convicted of violating a law and was sentenced to longer than one year incarceration.

To make sure bad people don't do it again .and for theirs and others own safety

Yes. She was sentenced to prison for life.
