First Step Act and Getting Out of Prison Early (2020)

[@CreaTiffany111]

I’m working on programs too. Good luck!

[@bigcee8393]

I want to thank you Michael for these podcasts.I'm currently under indictment in Superior Court in the state of New Jersey.I have a court date coming up this coming week.I'm in somewhat of a unique situation in that I'm free on non-cash bail.I'm sure you may have heard about it.Its also refered to as criminal justice reform or bail reform.I can't speak on my case b/c it's still going through the judicial process.However I will speak on the fact that a state prison sentence is a very real possibility for me.The podcasts give me some hope if & when I'll have to surrender.Keep up the good work.

Is their a register that shows who has gotten the first step act time credits.

[@Pjj530]

We have got to get your programs into FMC, located in Lexington Ky.

[@PrisonProfessors]

I'm working on that project now.

[@darlenesmith5335]

Does time credit in the first step act apply to inmates that are on home confinement due to the care's act

[@andrewdaniel2445]

Do you get extra good time for being in a camp?

[@PrisonProfessors]

No. Sorry. The system doesn't work that way. Why do you ask?

[@andrewdaniel2445]

Prison Professors I’ve read that you get 3 days a month for the first 12 months and 5 days a month after that. “Extra good time” But it might be prior to 1987 in the old laws.

[@valsstyle2381]

Hey there do u kno anything about the leap year that take off some of your time???

[@yoofaceee514]

I heard there is new law 65 percent of time instead of 85 is this true

[@PrisonProfessors]

Sadly, that's not true. The new law you're referring to is called The First Step Act. It provides an opportunity for people to serve a portion of their time on home confinement. But it's different from good time.

@@PrisonProfessors Does the First Step Act apply to non violent first offender sentenced to 1 year 1 day at lompoc federal camp?

[@PrisonProfessors]

@@learnthrivecompassion422 Yes. The First Step Act applies to all people in federal prison. Some people may not qualify for some provisions, but it is a federal law, and all people in prison will receive some benefits.

[@JorgeFlores-up4iy]
