(prHWY.com) March 18, 2013 - Florida, FL -- Florida, Mar 16, 2013 - This is the time that the BOP gives back to inmates who follow the rules and stay out of trouble. Under the Sentencing Guidelines it is equal to 15% of time served. Anyone sentenced to 12 months or less will not qualify for any Good Time Credit. This is why sentences of 12 months and 1 day are often handed down. It is the judge's way of showing some leniency.

Rdap Sentence Reduction - Rather than just subtracting 15% from the sentence, the BOP has chosen to employ some interesting logic in interpreting the meaning of 15%. This is explored in further detail below. This common misunderstanding means that subtracting 15% from the total sentence duration will not result in an accurate calculation of Good Time Credit to be awarded.

Those inmates who are placed in and successfully complete the BOP's Residential Drug Abuse Program can qualify for a sentence reduction of up to one year. Placement is reserved for those who are deemed to have severe drug abuse problems.

The BOP's uses halfway houses to integrate offenders back into the community, before they are released. While no longer imprisoned, offenders in a halfway house are subject to a plethora of rules and regulations and are still under the jurisdiction of the BOP.

How To Reduce Jail Time - An inmate is eligible for a halfway house with 10% remaining on their sentence or 6 months in the case that 10% is greater than 6 months. Halfway house time is based on actual time served, not on the total duration of the sentence. Once an inmate becomes eligible for a halfway house, he or she is in no way guaranteed immediate placement. Halfway house time is extremely rare on sentences of less than 6 months.

Time already served in custody awaiting sentencing or during transport to the designated prison, must be deducted. The task of Calculating Good Time Credit to be awarded is probably the most confusing and difficult of the above four steps. This stems from the fact that while the Sentencing Guidelines called for a well behaved inmate to serve his sentence, the BOP chose to interpret this differently.
