Federal Prison Sentence - Now, knowing your criminal history is the next step. If you have no criminal history this will be a big zero (0). This will make your prison sentence extremely small. If you are a crime boss having hundreds of arrests, then this will add on to your time. Basically, the more crime you were caught for in the past, the more time you'll be given in the federal penitentiary.
Armed with these two numbers, you'll look up the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Chart and plug in your "Base Level" number on the right column (1-43), and then apply your "Criminal History" number on the top row and work your way down to your min/max sentence time. This is not an exact science and your time can be lessened with a good attorney
