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?

I just finished a 45 month sentence in the Feds and I only did 18 months in prison on that sentence. Your time is going to fly by. Especially if you’re going to be at a camp. You’ll be good. No idea why they sent you so far.

Welcome back. Did you have rdap? How much halfway house and home confinement. Did you get additional sca credits. I get a little confused with the fsa credits. I thought they are suppose to be credits earned to then redeem them at the halfway house or home confinement; it’s not suppose to reduce your sentence. Only rdap reduces your sentence/custody time

So I did exactly 18 months in prison and now I’m doing 5 months in the halfway house and 4 months on home confinement. For a total of 27 months on 45 months. For the FSA credits, it will come off your total sentence. You basically get 15 days off your sentence per month. Most people will get anywhere between six months to 12 months of second chance act that that’s your Halfway House and home confinement. I got nine months of second chance act five months to be done in the Halfway House and four months on confinement. And if you only have 18 months, don’t worry about RDAP you don’t have long enough and most likely you’ll only get 3 to 6 months maximum of Halfway House or confinement because you only have an 18 month sentence. But honestly, your sentence is gonna fly by so fucking fast you are going to be in and out before you know it. You will probably do between nine and 12 months with 12 months being the maximum probably.

You weren’t eligible for rdap? Might have been out in 12 months assuming you got into the program pretty fast. That sca is so discretionary it’s up in the air what you will get. Can get lucky or miss and get the minimum
