The Guidelines required federal judges to sentence defendants to terms within limited prescribed ranges

FL, FL (prHWY.com) November 28, 2012 - Florida, Nov 28, 2012 - The Guidelines required federal judges to sentence defendants to terms within limited prescribed ranges. The length of sentences was determined by factors such as the amount of money and number of victims involved in the crime. For purposes of determining the length of a sentence, the perspective shifted away from the offender and onto the victims.
Felony Prison Consultants - Consistent with the shift away from rehabilitation and toward retribution, Congress repealed parole at the same time it enacted the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. For the past 20 years, federal inmates have been sentenced to substantial terms without the possibility of parole.
The second element behind this phenomenon is the efficiency of federal prosecutions. Faced with the threat of a draconian sentence length, a higher percentage of defendants plead guilty to crimes rather than face the risk of trial. Since the late 1980's, over 80% of people charged with a federal crime spent time in prison. During this time period, several campaigns were waged against specific categories of offenses. For example, we are still fighting the war on drugs and rounding up illegal aliens. The past 20 years has also seen the criminalization of previously non-criminal conduct and a broad expansion of the notion of a conspiracy.
To determine the amount of possible good time credit you could earn, a prison sentence calculator can be used. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has a simple percentage point with which to calculate a federal inmates time. One way of earning good time credit is simply by minding your own business and doing as the officers say. Not doing so often find inmates losing precious time. Although there may be a marginal drop in the rate of violent crime, we are imprisoning more non-violent offenders for longer terms without the possibility of parole.
Often drugs do make their way in - its best to take advantage of an Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) if one is available to you. There are many different programs afforded to inmates to help them get clean before they get out. Its best to take advantage of any program that can keep you out of your cell a little longer with like minded people just trying to make their lives better.
