I am looking to see if it is really true that a Frederal Prisoner who takes the drug program class really get a year off of their sentence?

I took the feeral drug program and was sentenced to 42 months. I ended up getting out of prison after 26 months, and on to a halfway house for 6 months...that brings the total months to 31, so I got 11 months off my original sentence. It really depends what prision someone is in and how backed up the drug program is in that prison. There were people ahead of me that only got 8 months off their sentence, but any time off is better than no time off. If the program was perfect they could get a year off their sentence and 6 months in a halfway house, which could end up on home confinement at any point. If you have any questions about anything feel free to ask me!

Yes, ther is a Federal Drug program called RDAP, which can get you up to a year off of your sentence. However, there are conditions,one of the conditions that I know of is that the crime in which a person has been sentenced cannot have any weapons involved. Also in some places it does take awhile to get into, but many laws are changing and it is always good to sign up and take every program possible while in the system.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
