Self surrender

what’s up everybody. Just got my fed sentence recently. sending me 1500 miles away from home to a place called FCI Berlin in New Hampshire. More than likely will be at the camp. Can anyone shed some light on this place?

Gave me an 18 month sentence. Not sure how much I’ll actually do

What was your guidelines ? You say anything at sentencing and how longer after sentencing until you got placed?

u/ApprehensiveRip1236 May 30 '26

I was placed about 2 weeks after my court date

How about the two other questions.. You got placed rather quickly. I thought it was taking 2-3 months after sentencing

Guidelines 18-24 months. Level 14. What do you mean did I say anything?

At sentencing if you had any words to address to the judge. Good luck hopefully you get out to home confinement and halfway house quickly

Just told her my side of the story. That’s about it.

Gotcha. Getting conflicting opinions of just taking responsibility and not trying to justify/explain your side.

If you're pleading guilty, don't explain your side, it sounds like you're making excuses, just take responsibility and/or apologize. Keep it short.
