Federal Prison Bureau is Down to Only One Early Release Program, the 500 Hour Residential Drug Abuse Program, Since the Federal Prison Boot Camps have Been Eliminated.

Federal Prison Bureau's 500 Hour Residential Drug Program gives federal prison inmates up to one year off their sentence and six months of placement in a Community Corrections Center, more commonly know as Half-Way Houses.

(PRWEB) February 10, 2005 -- Eligible candidates who graduate from this 9 month program will receive up to a 1 year sentence reduction and a 6 month recommendation for Half-Way House/Community Corrections Center (CCC) Placement. You must have a history of drug (substance) abuse or dependence during your last 12 months in the community, which includes legal and/or illegal drugs, prescribed or not, and/or alcohol abuse. If you told the truth when your PSI/PSR was being prepared by the U.S. Probation Department, it should be listed under the Substance Abuse Section. Many times this is not the case because either your attorney advised you not to disclose this information or you were afraid to tell the U.S. Probation Officer assigned to prepare your PSI/PSR for fear of getting another charge. This is where we can assist you in meeting the eligibility requirements for this program. Inmates can apply for the RDAP program at any time, but are generally not interviewed until they are within 36 months of release. Many inmates are well within 24-26 months of release when they enter the program. There are other qualifiers related to the current offence, such as past criminal history, detainers and institutional conduct that need to be cleared to be early released eligible. Federal Prison Consultants, Inc. can help evaluate this determination.
