If you are a federal offender and have a verifiable substance abuse problem, there's good news.
(prHWY.com) January 20, 2013 - Florida, FL -- Florida, Jan 20, 2013 - If you are a federal offender and have a verifiable substance abuse problem, there's good news. The Federal Bureau of Prisons by law provides a very specialized program offering eligible offenders additional time off, beyond "good time", from your sentence.
Rdap Sentence Reduction is available for all security levels except for high security inmates. Upon successful completion of RDAP, eligible inmates will benefit with early release of up to twelve months off their incarceration time plus an extended halfway house and home confinement placement of six months at the end of their sentence. Home confinement starts when the inmate reaches the last ten percent of their sentence.
Early release amount depends on the sentence length. Inmates serving 37 months or more are eligible for the full twelve months of early release while those serving 31-36 months will be eligible for only a nine month sentence reduction. Those with less than 31 months sentence are eligible for only a six month reduction. Inmates may receive less than their maximum eligible time off due to program overcrowding. The average sentence reduction BOP-wide is approximately nine months.
Some inmates due to the violent or sexual-abuse nature of their crimes are ineligible for any time off. Felony or misdemeanor convictions of robbery, rape, assault or child sexual-abuse will disqualify as well as an element of violence or use of a firearm or weapon. Other disqualifications include those with pending state charges, warrants or detainers, and military or state inmates.
How To Reduce Jail Time - Eligibility for RDAP is determined by the institution's RDAP staff and requires that the inmate has a verifiable documented narcotic drug, prescription drug, or alcohol abuse problem in their Presentence Investigation Report, considered the "bible" at the BOP. Having a judicial recommendation, although not necessary or conclusive, is helpful for RDAP admission with the court's recognition and encouragement for treatment. Unfortunately, the PSR often times inadequately reports an inmate's substance abuse due to erroneous advice from counsel or lack of accuracy. Updating the PSR, after the fact, is very difficult after sentencing. In such cases, the burden of proof is much higher but not impossible. The offender can seek documentation verifying substance abuse from a former probation officer or treatment provider. The documentation must adequately show the diagnosis and treatment performed as well as written contemporaneously within one year prior to incarceration, and in most cases, even prior to the initial arrest or indictment.
RDAP is in great demand and understandable so, earning up to twelve months sentence reduction and six months halfway house and home confinement. Almost every incoming inmate will apply but only a small percentage are admitted.
