I knew at one point that someone on federal charges were required to serve a mandatory 85% of their sentence. Also I know that all states are different, But I was recently told that Tennessee has changed this minimum to 65%. Now I Know its Federal and not State, but even the federal rules are different among states. Does anyoe know if this change was made in TN?

Is it true that after one year on federal probation,you can get off probation?

Hello J:

Nope. The federal rules ARE the same in all states.

Hello Bryant:

Nope. That's not true. Not even close.

I thought the Feds did away with good time. Isn't that right Excon?

I thought the Feds did away with good time. Hi twink:

The OP mentioned that they do 85% of their time. I don't think anything has changed since then. The 15% ISN'T good time...

I don't know what they call it. Maybe it's gay time.

Federal prisons,

Not a felony in states

All inmates in all Federal prisons are under the same rules no matter where they are located.
Period, end of question on that, In fact a Federal inmate may be moved from state to state for housing issues.

State inmates serving felony crimes, ( that is merely a class of crime) in state prisons are not under any federal guidelines but are under state law.
