If you have been indicted on a federal crime and wish to know how much federal prison time you'll have on your proposed sentence, should you lose the trial, there is an easy way to calculate how long your federal prison sentence will be.
(prHWY.com) January 20, 2013 - Florida, FL -- Florida, Jan 19, 2013 - If you have been indicted on a federal crime and wish to know how much federal prison time you'll have on your proposed sentence, should you lose the trial, there is an easy way to calculate how long your federal prison sentence will be. Knowing your base number could be the difference between pleading guilty right away to fighting a lengthy court battle. The Federal Board of Prisons algorithm used is not so complex as some may think and a federal prison sentence can be figured in mere minutes.
The first step to finding out how long your federal prison time will be is to get the publication for criminal offenses. Knowing what you are charged with you simply look up the "base" number and add any additional circumstances. This "base number" ranges from 1 to 43; 1 being a tiny crime and 43... well... that's a major infraction of the law.
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
Prison consultants do not provide legal advice. The prison consultant does not deal with issues of guilt or innocence. The prison consultant provides information to his client, their family and the defense team. The primary objective is to inform and educate, to demystify this otherwise frightening experience.
American prison consultants makes sure that his clients know what programs are available while in prison so the client is prepared to use those programs to return the client to his family, and to his life, as soon as possible. The clients of an experienced prison consultant will know in advance about rules, socialization, what to expect, and how to avoid costly mistakes.
As a nation we are sending people to prison at an alarming rate. Even as crime rates decline, prison populations continue to increase. One consequence is the likelihood that the prison experience will touch more of our lives. As this happens, more people will rely on prison consultants to help them navigate through this process.
