What is RDAP? An Overview of the Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program.
If you are a federal offender and have a verifiable substance abuse problem, there's good news. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) by law provides a very specialized program offering eligible offenders additional time off, beyond "good time", from your sentence. Called the 500-hour comprehensive Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP), it is the only possible way for federal inmates to receive an additional sentence reduction outside the courts and has been shown to be successful at reducing recidivism, relapse, and prison misconduct.
RDAP is available for all security levels except for high security inmates. Upon successful completion of RDAP, eligible inmates will benefit with early release of up to twelve months off their incarceration time plus an extended halfway house and home confinement placement of six months at the end of their sentence. Home confinement starts when the inmate reaches the last ten percent of their sentence. 18 U.S.C § 3621 (e).
Early release amount depends on the sentence length. Inmates serving 37 months or more are eligible for the full twelve months of early release while those serving 31-36 months will be eligible for only a nine month sentence reduction. Those with less than 31 months sentence are eligible for only a six month reduction. Inmates may receive less than their maximum eligible time off due to program overcrowding. The average sentence reduction BOP-wide is approximately nine months.
Some inmates due to the violent or sexual-abuse nature of their crimes are ineligible for any time off. Felony or misdemeanor convictions of robbery, rape, assault or child sexual-abuse will disqualify as well as an element of violence or use of a firearm or weapon. Other disqualifications include those with pending state charges, warrants or detainers; INS-ICE detainers, and military or state inmates.
Eligibility for RDAP is determined by the institution's RDAP staff and requires that the inmate has a verifiable documented narcotic drug, prescription drug, or alcohol abuse problem in their Presentence Investigation Report, considered the "bible" at the BOP. Having a judicial recommendation, although not necessary or conclusive, is helpful for RDAP admission with the court's recognition and encouragement for treatment. Unfortunately, the PSR often times inadequately reports an inmate's substance abuse due to erroneous advice from counsel or lack of accuracy. Updating the PSR, after the fact, is very difficult after sentencing. In such cases, the burden of proof is much higher but not impossible. The offender can seek documentation verifying substance abuse from a former probation officer or treatment provider. The documentation must adequately show the diagnosis and treatment performed as well as written contemporaneously within one year prior to incarceration, and in most cases, even prior to the initial arrest or indictment.
Next, the offender must meet formal psychological diagnostic criteria by passing a formal clinical interview by the Drug Abuse Program Coordinator (DAPC), who will look at official background documentation, such as a PSR, and other information that supports the diagnosis. The offender must also not have any mental disorders that may interfere with RDAP participation and must sign a treatment contract. During the clinical interview, a substance abuse or dependency disorder may not necessarily be diagnosed by the DAPC even if there is documentation in the inmate's file, in which case, the inmate is deemed ineligible.
RDAP is in great demand and understandable so, earning up to twelve months sentence reduction and six months halfway house and home confinement. Almost every incoming inmate will apply but only a small percentage are admitted. Indeed due to the limited number of classes for RDAP, the BOP determines eligibility very carefully, scrutinizing documentation to meet entrance requirements followed by a rigorous clinical interview. Successful RDAP admissions then, is the most important criteria for evaluation when choosing a prison consulting firm for hire.

Our son, 21, has been sentenced to 10 years for selling marijuana and Possession of a firearm. He has a heroin/narcotic addiction.. positive drug screen while on probation. Has had in patient
treatment after conviction and before sentencing. Is he eligible?
Jenny, the firearm will prevent him in getting a sentence reduction but he can still do rdap. The addiction, if well documented, would get him into rdap. The in-patient treatment after arrest will
not help him much.
My boyfriend has been in the rdap for almost 2 months now. He was just informed he may not be eligible for sentence reduction due to a prior state conviction of battery in 2005. He says he will
appeal it because he believes it was dismissed. Does it matter if it was or not ? Is battery considered aggravated assault?
Renea, no battery is not considered aggravated assault. If it was dismissed, he will not have a problem.
What if you got caught selling drug ?Will the program take him in
My fiance' was initially sentenced 5 years for grand theft auto. He's in Sioux falls state penitentiary. I know he's in a treatment type program already, he's had an alcohol problem before he was

Sommer, it sounds like he was in a state jail and this program is for federal prisons.
I'm gonna to most likely get sentenced between 30-36 months for sex trafficking next month I smoke weed an have prior convictions for marijuana possession am I avail for rdap an if so how long will

prison. He lost his father and mother at a young age and I know that is why he has so many problems with anger and addiction. would he be a good canidate?
Angie - it sounds like your boyfriend is in a state jail with a state charge. The RDAP program is only for federal inmates in federal prison. Sorry.
Hello, my fiance was sentenced to 11 years in medium institution he has tested postive for marijuana in the past he had a gun charge prior and did 3 years in state jail would he be eligble for the
program or do you know anything about the 65% law or the point dedecutions.
Nicole - these are a lot of questions and I am going to need more information in order for me to give you an answer. Please call our office.
My Dad was sentenced to 24 months for a white collar crime (first offense) in August of 2014. He just was admitted into RDAP at Edgefield that begins Nov 24th, 2014. What is a realistic time for him
to be out in a halfway house? Thanks!
Hi Brandon. He will be done with RDAP in 9 months, which is Aug 24, 2015. He will immediately go to the halfway house for 6 months after and then go to supervised release. As soon as arriving to the
halfway house, he may leave to work, go shopping, exercise, church, etc. He will have to be sleeping at the halfway house for 3.6 months with weekend passes to go home. He can then do home
confinement for 2.4 months.
My husband is waiting for sentence and is looking at 5-20 years. He has prior drug abuse problems, but has a felony for residential bulgury, will that disquilify his eligibility or is there any way
to get him in the program?
My husband has Asthma, he had been use asthmas medicine all time, dose he qualify for RDAP, also, he is US green card holder.
Jackie - yes, he may still be able to get into RDAP and the time off. Please call our office.
Julie, you have to be a US Citizen. Also, asthma meds are not the type that can be easily abused.
My husband was sentenced to 15 years for drugs federal time. He had a prior state time for aggravated assault and robbery. This put him as a career offender. Will the state disqualify him from the
drug program?
My brother has a open case from 2006 that the state never indicted but it still shows as pending. He has no detainer. Is he eligible?
Please contact me regarding your fees etc
I am in the process of negotiation with a plea deal for white collar analog substance case.
I have a six year old son and am facing conspiracy charges
My number one concern is to be away from him for the least amount of time possible
Michelle - please call my office.
Shawn, I am confused. If there is an open case, then there is a detainer. He will not be able to get into rdap if there is criminal case pending against him.
Felicia - I am sorry to say that the aggravated assault and robbery will preclude him from getting a direct sentence reduction for rdap. He may still attend the program however.
my husband has a 5 year min.mandatory.. he is already in the rdap program for 2 months now.. does he qualify for time off and hwh time?
I have recently been released from Federal prison and I also completed RDAP. While I am pleased that a lot of families are getting the information about the program, I just want to let people know
how important it is for people to do the program for the right reasons. This program changed my life. It taught me a lot of things that has changed my outlook on life. Yes the time off was a good
deal, but hopefully your family members truly want to change. After completing yo still have to attend treatment while in the halfway house. This is not easy. Please make sure you get all the facts.
Kendra - He qualifies for the hwh time. He will get the sentence reduction as well if there are no charges in his past that are deemed \"violent\".
Nicole - The program is very helpful for change and I agree. The treatment at the halfway house is very easy for most locations...usually 60 minutes of per week.
My adult son has a documented addiction (heroin, pot,opiates as per his psi) and was exploited by state police to buy heroin in exchange for some of the drug to support his habbit. As a strung out
heroin addict, they easily ensnared him into several buys. He became part of a state come federal indictment that resulted in a federal plea to a single count of aiding and abetting the distribution
of heroin and a 41 mos. Bop sentence that included judicial recommendstion for rdap and education progrsms. Would a conspiracy to committ robery plea where some one riding in his car committed the
robbery be a disqualifyer by bop, and if so are there remedies?
pdbowen - I am very sorry for your son. Usually involvement in conspiracy for robbery would be considered a crime of violence and would preclude (ie. prevent) any sentence reduction. There are
however exceptions but there are rare. There is a remedy process for appeal if you son was denied the reduction. Call our office to find out more.
My husband was sentence to 8.5 years 4th bank robbery no weapon, but had a drug and alcohol problem
that cause each offense. he is 57
years old and just started serving his time in Jan 2015. Does he qualify for the RDAP Program
My son is enrolled in RDAP and says he needs at $100 a month to stay in the program, is there actually fees for inmates to participate in the program?
gina - your husband can still get into rdap but the BOP will not give him any reduction since bank robbery is considered violent even without a weapon. He can however get the 6 months halfway house
and home confinement.
Debbie - the program is free but he may have to pay his FRP which is required to stay in RDAP. The FRP payments go against his court fees and restitution.
Can someone get in with aggravated battery amd is aggravated battery the same as aggravated assault???
My husband was sentenced to 15 months March 25 2014 for felon with a firearm. He had 4 dirty UA's before he was sentence. He has been in there since November 2014. Will he be eligible and how long
will it be before he will be released to a halfway house.
My husband is currently waiting to interviewed for the RDAP program and we have concerns with his points. He domes not have any violent charges but he does marijuana possession, DWI and interfering
with an officer. His recent visit with his counselor he was given his point calculation and he has 6 points for violence resulting from the interference with the officer. He received that charge for
cursing and not complying with the officers when they approached him and asking him questions. Due to having those 6 points and the type of charge would that affect him from being eligible for the
maximum reduction of 18 months? Thank you for your assistance.
leroyjones - Aggravated battery is actual physical contact is made while aggravated assault is the threat of violence. Ordinarily, these charges would prevent the RDAP sentence reduction.
Katina - his sentence is too short to do RDAP. Typically, the BOP will give 10% (1.5 months in your husband's case) for halfway house.
Alicia - I wish him the best at his clinical interview. Nothing that you have stated so far will prevent him from getting his sentence reduction.
My dad was just sentenced to 36 mmonths (white collar 1st offense) at Cumberland prison camp surrendering on may 11 2015. He is eligible for rdap how long would he have to wait before he starts the
program and what are there calculations for his 36 month sentence
Jameis, call us and let us know why you believe your father is eligible for RDAP. Most of the time, there is a problem but then it's too late. If your father is able to get accepted into RDAP, he
would be able to start the next class. His total time can be as low as 16 months with the RDAP reduction. Make sure you talk to us if you want to be sure your father will get in so you have that
peace of mind. The call is free.
My husband is currently serving a 60 month sentence for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. He has been in for almost 6 months and just went for his RDAP interview in which he was told he is
eligible. His paperwork is being sent to Texas for evaluation of sentence reduction. He has an aggravated assault charge from 1998 which stemmed as a result of a DWI car accident in which an
individual in the car he hit was injured. Will this prevent him from getting the sentence reduction? If so, is there an appeal process?
TRose - yes, aggravated assault can be considered a "violent" charge and can prevent the reduction. There is an appeal process which can be tricky and you need to rely on previous cases.
My son is in fci Miami. 10 yr sentence for conspiracy and intent to sell drugs. When he went to court with the State he was told he had to do the drug program while on probation. Then the Feds picked
him up for the same case he is trying to get into this program but is having difficulty. He had a back injury and was taking oxycodone for pain, he was drinking heavily when he got divorced . This is
his first time in prison has no priors. Does he qualify?
Sandy, he may qualify. Your son's case is complex so please call our office.
If you participate in RDAP, can you go straight on home confinement or do you have to go to a halfway house first when you are released?
Trose - There is a BOP rule that you can only go to home confinement when you reach the last 10% of your sentence. So if you have a 60 month sentence or more, you may be able to go to home
confinement quickly. Less than 60 months, you may be at the hfw house for a little whilte. This is not a hard and fast rule and there are always exceptions.
How much does the rdap program charge
ivan - the RDAP program is an internal BOP program and is free of charge if you qualify.
How long is the appeal process if you appeal a sentence reduction denial?
Trose - it depends on what the appeal is based on. Can be any where from 21 days to a few months.
My husband was sentenced to 15 years for distribution of marijuana is state court, but he will be moved to a medium facilty, can he apply for the program.
Tamera - I am sorry but this is a federal program and not state. There may be local state programs that are similar.
My husband has a 60 month sentence, he just found out he was accepted into RDAP and qualifies for the sentence reduction. At what point is a new release date calculated? How long can he expect to do
in prison?
Cris, he can be in and out of prison in 33 months out of 60 if there are no issues. It should take 30 to 90 days after he starts RDAP classes to see his release date change.
Does that 33 months include the halfway house/home confinement time? Or would that be beyond the 33 months? Thanks.
What if the current federal charge (30 months) is for a tax crime. Non-violent and no gun. But he has a prior state conviction for a felon on possession of a firearm. The gun was never used in any
crime and it was in a storage locker in his name.
Cris - 33 months does not include the halfway house time.
louis - the prior state conviction for a felon in possession of a firearm would NOT prevent him from getting a RDAP sentence reduction.
I just got a 30month term in the BOP and have doc in my PSR that I have a drug problem and the judge also recommended I go into the RDAP program but here is my question. I got a 2 level enhancement
for a gun that was found inside my husbands dresser at home. (Gun was not on me/us at the time of the arrest) Would I be able to get a time reduction if I was able to get in the program?
My Son is incarcerated at a
Prison Camp. He is a first-time-non violent offender, and pose no threat to society. He takes a Nerve & Anxiety Prescription Medication: (Lexapro). Can he enroll into RDAP / with a sentence
Stephanie - I am sorry to say that your gun enhancement on your current case would prevent you from getting a sentence reduction for RDAP.
R. Nelson - yes, he may be able to get in. Simply taking prescription meds is not "substance abuse" but rather following doctor's orders. Please call our office and I can go over with you what it
would take for him to get in.
My son was sentenced to fci and had an outstanding warrant in the state of CA he asked to be transferred to clear his record, They gave him 90 days concurrent, but they want him to serve it at the
state, is there anyway to transfer him back to the federal prison to continue to serve his 8 years and serve concurrent time with the state sentence.
Carmen - it can go either way and I am unable to give you a clear answer without learning more about the case. Please give us a call.
My husband was sentenced to 36 months for possesion of marijuana violation. He's done a little over 3 of those months already. Over the last year/year and a half he definitely has documented issues
with both marijuana and Molly so my question isn't really about whether he is eligible. My question is about when the program will start. He is currently being transferred to Sandstone FCI because
they said there was room available in the program there right now. So what month will this program start and if it already started will he have to wait 9 months before it starts over again?
Tatiana - let us know if you still need this information. We can contact the BOP on your behalf.
My Husband was sentenced 24 months for Dog fighting will he be eligible. I read that less than 31 months can receive a 6 months reduction is that true?
Hi Crystal. Please call our office to discuss. Your husband may still be able to get into RDAP with a 24 months sentence. He would receive a 6 month reduction and 6 months halfway house and home
HI, my husband is serving a 42 month sentence. He is scheduled to be released on December 14th. He was given 6 months of halfway house. When do you start getting passes to go home? Do you think he
will be home for Christmas or will he still be in the halfway house.
Jeannie, he can start getting weekend passes in a couple of weeks after he gets to the halfway house. He can go to home confinement after 7 weeks or so. He will most likely not be home for Christmas.
my loved one was charged with felon in possession of a firearm the judge requested he be sent to a facility with a RDAP program. Will he qualify for sentence reduction?
Kia - I am so sorry to say that your loved one will not get the sentence reduction but will still get the 6 months halfway house and home confinement.
Can someone qualify for sentence reduction if they do not have a dog or substance abuse problem? Ie fraud charges 15 month sentence
Duane, you have to prove that you have a substance (alcohol, prescription med, or street drug) abuse problem. Also, ordinarily you also have to have at least a 24 month sentence.
My husband been in jail 14years on a drug conspiracy charge an had a firearm on him an he just got a transfer into one of the camps an is in the rdap program, but do he qualify for the reduction or
halfway house? I was reading all the other comments but none has been in as long as him so im just wondering, dose it apply to the length of time When he only has three more years to his release
Tinaah - I am glad your husband is getting some counseling. If he was charged with the gun, then he will not receive the sentence reduction. He will hear shortly from treatment staff for sure about
my son is in a federal prison with a 210 month sentence of which he has already done 10 1/2 years. The judge recommended he get into RDAP. The sentence was for attempted interstate transportation of
child pornography and possession of child pornography. It was non-contact, but his charge was considered one of violence. I have heard that there have been changes to the "violent" thing. Would he be
eligible for the program and time off his sentence?
Susan, the BOP has taken more of a softer stance on child pornography. "Distribution" however, as in your son's case, is considered a crime of violence. I am sorry about that. Hopefully, the laws
will change.
My brother received a 6 year sentence (white collar crime-1st and only offense) and entered prison in May 2012. He has completed the RDAP program and is scheduled to be released from FCI Miami on
Nov. 3, 2015 at the age of 67. It sounds like he has been a model prisoner. My questions are: how long can he expect to be in the halfway house? (2) what happens if he is unable to find employment
while there? (3) is there anything else I should know?
There is a rule change set to occur on September 21. It would allow people with gun enhancement to now receive reduced sentences. My family member completed the RDAP program in August. Will the rule
be retroactive and will he be eligible for a sentence reduction?
Rosemary - he can be sent to home confinement in a few days. He will not be in the halfway house long. If he does not have a job, they may keep him there longer until he finds one. Give us a call if
you have more questions.
Tabitha - We have heard rumors about this change but have not seen it yet. Please check in October.
My best friend was sentenced to 2yrs in federal prison on a drug charge will he be able to qualify for this rdap
ConcernedFriend, he/she may be able to qualify. I have many questions however. Please call our office.
How can my son get in this program?
Jeanette, please read our entire website to get the detail. If you need help, please call our office for a free consultation.
My daughter Ashley Henry #17568-078 is in ARDAP in Bryan, Texas. Would like to know if she can qualify for early release. I'm disabled and in need for her to come home soon and care for her 5 yrs old
son who needs her badly.
Debra - Her release date is 10/30/2016 which does not give her enough time to do the RDAP program. You want her to apply for the 2nd Chance Act to maximize her halfway house time. Call our office and
we can show you how.
Thank you so much Anh Nguyen for answering my question about my husband's situation. Your website has been SO HELPFUL throughout this journey. Thanks again for taking the time to talk to me and
answer all my questions. Best of luck to you and your firm. Thanks again!
My ex-husband is in Leavenworth on a gun charge and non-violent. He is currently in the RDAP program, will the early release apply to him?
Shana - the gun charge is considered "violent" and at the moment, this would preclude your ex-husband from getting the sentence reduction, I am sorry to say.
Sentencing hearing is mid January, I have not had my PSI. How do I arrange a PSI, who do I contact???
I was sentenced in late Octobdr to 24 months for adding and abetting drugs I have no violence or gun enhancements, my question is do I have enough time on my sentence to get in?
Incognito419, yes you do have enough time. Please call our office.
My husband was sentenced to 48 months for child pornography. He was molested at a young age which caused drug/alcohol problems. He hasn't had any issues with them for a few years prior to his arrest
though. Would he be eligible?
Joy - he may still be eligible. I have a lot of questions. Please call our office.
My husband was sentenced to 60 months at Federal Prison.He has attempted to join the the RDAP
program. But each time he turns
in what is asked of him, the facility keeps throwing another hurdle at him. He is
under treatment for Anxiety And PTSD due to his incarcraion. He had a substance problem before he was arrested. And wants to make sure he can do all he can while he is there to improve himself. But
they are trying to say he is not eligible.
Beverly, some prisons make it very hard to get in. Please call our office and we can see if we can help.
My fiancee is in FCI Schuylkill nearing the end of the RDAP program. This is his situation, in his words: "Sentenced to 42 months for 922 (g) (1) felon in possesion of a firearm. I haven't had a
violent charge since approx 2001 when I was charged with a\b dangerous weapon (shod foot) when I beat up my mom's abusive boyfriend for breaking her nose. It wasn't a felony. I was pled down and
released on time served while awaiting trial (6 months). After that I had a gun case in Lowell district court (misdemeanor and served only a 10 month sentence) then released on probation. Violated it
a year or so later with a felony gun charge in which I did state prison time (3yr to 3yr+1day)
which is the qualifying thing for the felon in possesion charge [922 (G) (1) ]. When I sent the paperwork to Grand Prairie, TX (from the counselor here) it was returned denied for the fact I had no
disqualifying things except the fact I was charged with 922 (G) (1). It didn't say anything else. I checked my points and they aren't that high and also it states that I am not a public safety risk
and states also no detainers are lodged against me at this time."
Can you tell me if he would qualify for this early release or not? We just can't deal with not having a definitive yes or no answer any longer.
Thank you in advance for any information or assistance you may offer.
what happens if your pulled out of Fed to go testify at trial while your in RDAP, do u have to start over or lose accrued good time?
What happens if your original sentence is 48mo but while in Rdap you get rule 35 hypothetically for 50% reduction to 24 months below Rdap qualifications, do u continue in program but opportunity for
possible time off then can not be granted?
Marissa - I am sorry to say...a felon in possession conviction on his current offense will prevent him from getting a sentence reduction.
James - if you are pulled out on trial, then it would be up to the DAPC there to decide about your time.
If you get the rule 35, you must still have enough time on your sentence after graduation to do at least 4 months halfway house. If not, you will kicked out of the program.
My fiancé got 5 yrs for non violent,
No weapons, no priors not even driving ... He's in a facility that offers no programs for good time or early release... Has no citations while serving and has worked as a model inmate ... He's in
Georgia I'm in Michigan .., the commute is difficult and costly ... Not to mention he deserves to be home with his family
Please help ...!
Hello, my husband was sentenced to 15 years for Count One, conspiracy to distribute more than one kilogram of heroin and more than five kilograms of cocaine in violation, distribution of more than
one kilogram of heroin and more than five kilograms of cocaine in violation, possession of firearms in furtherance of the drug conspiracy in violation, conspiracy to possess, carry and uses to
firearm in more of the distribution of heroin and coke in violation of possession of stolen guns in violation.
Usuary he was when he was a teenager to every drug. Now before the sentence i was addicted to controlled medicines
Judy, Marie: I am sorry for your situation. Please call our office and we can discuss the case and see what can be done.
My boyfriend pled guilty to marijuana cultivation plus a gun enhancement also applies. He easily qualifies for RDAP because of his addiction to alcohol. He is in federal camp with 2 points on
security. Will the enhancement prevent him from being accepted in TDAP? He received a 5 year sentence with 4 year probation.
How can i reach you guys? I was recommended to do rdap at my sentencing of 30 months by the judge. I turn myself in on may 2.
Debbie - the "gun enhancement" would prevent him from getting the direct sentence reduction but he will be able to do the RDAP program still if he can get in.
MARI - he may qualify but I have so many questions. Give us a call since it is free and I can discuss with you and get you the answers.
Hey hi you doing i got 41 months and the judge recommended the rdap program i was checking how much time possibly will i have to do
My husband is under investigation but has not been indicted yet by a grand jury. He has an alcohol problem. We were informed that he has to start a program prior to being indicted. Is this correct ?
What type of program? Or does he have to be indicted first? First offense on a white collar crime.
Kenny, you can get about 6 months off for good behavior, 12 months off for the sentence reduction and another 6 months for the halfway house and home arrest. You will be in and out of prison in about
17 months out of 41.
Sue, please give me a call at our office to discuss.
Hi, my brother is currently in the RDAP at a halfway house. Unfortunately he got into a fight, as someone stole his belongings. He has a job. My question is what is going to happen to him!? While in
prison he didn't get in trouble. Will he get sent back to the same prison or will he be able to remain at the hwh without going out?
I recently was sentenced to 1 year and 1 day for mail fraud in federal court. Is it possible I will be able to do a split sentence with HH and home confidement or camp and home confidement? I was
hoping to keep my job but if I have to do longer than 3 months without coming home I probably won't be able to kept it with a leave of absence.
Emily - assuming that the fight was not too severe (and no drugs or alcohol was involved of course), he will most likely only lose some good time but can remain at halfway house.
There is zero tolerance if he fails any drug or alcohol tests and he would lose his RDAP reduction and be shipped back to prison if he did.
Traci, you will get about 2 months good time and another 2 months for the halfway house unless there are extenuating circumstances. Call us and we can discuss opportunities to get more time.
My husband is in the 8th circuit he's been charged with felony possession of an illegal fire arm and a 4 point enhancement for drug possession. Is he still eligible for the 12 months off. He was
sentenced to 96 months.
My son's father got sentenced 10 years in federal prison for fire arms already being on parole prior. Would he be eligible for any type of program for early release?
I'm looking at a sentence between 31-42 months. Have verifiable substance abuse issues in my PSI (in out patient treatment 1 month prior to indictment and also in 2011. Have recommendation from the
head of my out patient program stating that i am ideal candidate for rdap had one relapse in treatment, also verified. Ive been on pre sentence release with random drug tests since june of 2015.
Sentencing should be in july 2016. I have not failed any drug tests while on pre sentence release. Will that be a problem? Everything else looks good even my pre sentence officer is optimistic
Lena, NicoleM: I am sorry to say that your loved one can not get a reduction due to the firearm which is considered violent. They can still do RDAP and get the 6 months off.
My bf was sentenced to 5.8 and judged orderd the drug program and not a violent offender he's in there for selling drugs. How long wld be taken off his sentence
I am helping a friend. He completed RDAP and was released to the halfway house. He blew positive on a breathalyzer upon returning to the halfway house. He was taken back to jail but believes there
was a change made to allow for a second chance or formal warning to reduce recidivism. Do ypu know anything about this policy change and whether it passed? Otherwise he is looking at serving the
Allison - the judge can not "order" the RDAP program and his recommendation is meaningless. If he can get into the program, he can get 12 months off.
Heidi, I am sorry to say that there is a zero tolerance policy for alcohol or drug use while at the halfway house. He will be sent back to prison and lose his reduction unless he can prove that the
breathalyzer is incorrect.
I was given a seven year sentence. How much time will I have to do? Judge said something about RDAP program and halfway house.
Hi Marie. You will get about 12 months off for good time credit, another 12 months for RDAP and at least 6 months for halfway house and home confinement. Call us and we can discuss.
Hi, my fiance is already in the rdap program. We are just waiting to hear back if he's eligible for the year off. He's in for a VOp for possession with intent for heroin however he had a possession
of a gun when he was locked up before which is been over 16 year's ago. Would he still be eligible for the time off? I'm not sure if his case with the firearm was violent which occurred over 16 years
ago. Was there a law that just passed with the violent and non violent for possession of a gun???
Maria - the gun conviction from 16 years ago will not prevent him from getting the reduction. The BOP now only go back as far as 10 years.
My bf was sentenced to 30-36 mo i cant remember exactly right now. 3 charges are from july 4 2014 they are operation of unreg vehicle, no proof of ins and non drug crim poss of fire arm and sentenced
for those on may 24 2016. Also on may 24 2016 he was sentenced with poss lev 5 offense date-1-19-2016 and also that day poss level 5 offense date12-27-2014. Can ur program help him?
Shortee - the program can help him as long as it is a federal sentence (and not state). Also, the criminal possession of a firearm may be a problem. Call our office for a free consultation.
Is there a number that they can call you guys from the prison? Also, my boyfriend has corrlinks, would he be able to email you?
Maria - Yes, he add email@example.com in his corrlinks.
My son was designated to fpc Sheridan. He is eligible for rdap but I hear it's really difficult to get the full time off at that facility.. is that true? He was sentenced to 42 months
What if your substance abuse is not verifiable? Is there still a way to get into the program?
Christi - what you are hearing is rumor. Inmates are getting their full time off where eligible, based on law. Your son should be released after about 18 months or so.
Jessica - Please call our office. There are ways to "verify" the substance abuse based on BOP regulations. Call us and we will let you know what they are.
Hey! First I just wanna comment on you guys fast response! I love it! But my brother just got his psi report back and he's being held a spartanburg county Anthony Myrick 17-02263, I've been doing slot of research since he was booked in March. And also his lawyer,he has alot of simple possession and failed some drug test and even went to some drug classes before, he's currently in the for possession of firearm. Some people did say the rules changed a little. He has nothing violent on his back ground and wasn't caught with the gun doing anything violent. What's our luck
My relative is in federal prison currently taking the RDAP program. He was told he doesn't qualify for the yr off since he had served 3 yrs in county for a robbery 9yrs ago. What can he do? Or there is nothing he can do ?
The judge recommended my son for rdap and he was charged with conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking a minor and the courts stated it was no violence used nor did he have possession of the minor does that not make him eligible for the program???
patrice - I am sorry to say that if your current conviction includes "felon in possession" of a firearm, that is considered violent and you can not get the reduction.
Eren - Unfortunately, robbery is considered violent since the conviction is less than 10 years old, your relative can not get the reduction and there is nothing can be done.
Rainy - I am sorry to say that any conviction against a "minor", certainly for sex trafficking, is considered "violent" in all cases and therefore your son will not get the reduction.
If i had deferred adjudication for assault on a public defender in 1998 and completed it successfully and 3 duis can i qualify for rdap and early release
Murry - the assault conviction in 1998 is well over 10 years old so it will not prevent you from getting the reduction. The 3 DUI's may help you get accepted if 2 of them are within 5 years previous to your indictment.
My husband has been in federal bop years ago for conspiracy and he was on supervised release for 5 years and got caught again for conspiracy 3 years into his supervised release, do basically he violated his probation and they gave him 60 months if he took rdap the first time he was incarcerated can he retake the classes and get time off again ?
Roxanne, you can take RDAP multiple times. However, you can only get the sentence reduction once in a lifetime unfortunately.
My brother is in federal custody for "felon in possession of ammunition" does that prevent him from qualifying for the program?
Mark - unfortunately, felon in possession of ammunition is considered violent and would preclude your brother from getting the reduction. He may however still do the RDAP program if he qualifies.
My fiancé is in FCI Loretto for transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. He is in the process of applying for RDAP. If he gets in the program will he qualify for the time off of his sentence with hat charge or just benefit from the treatment?
Christine - I am sorry to say that any abuse of a minor is considered "violent" and your fiance most likely will not get the time off.
My fiancé was sentenced to 60 months for manufacturing marijuana. A registered gun was found and 2 pts was given in psr. Anything we can do or file to help him get the reduction? He was not charged with the gun.
Jenn - I am sorry to say that the 2 pts gun enhancement on his psr is considered "violence" and therefore would prevent him from getting his reduction.
I have a aggravated assault from 12yrs ago but it was dropped to affray so that's wht I plead out to will I be able to attend program?
Melissa, aggravated assault is considered a crime of violence and would prevent you from getting the reduction. However, I am happy to say that the BOP only goes back 10 years from the time you are sentenced on your current case. You should be ok to get the reduction.

UNC coach Roy Williams: 'Our president tweets bulls—'
Following his team's blowout of Miami on Thursday, North Carolina's Roy Williams used his postgame platform to poke at President Donald Trump for his 'bulls—' tweets.
Well, all right.
No response yet from our nation's 45th President. We will update if need be.
The ACC Tournament is in Brooklyn for the first time, and it seems the New York City attitude is rubbing off on the conference. Another white-haired coach who played the Hurricanes, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, dropped a similar four-letter word after Wednesday's game when asked a NYC-centric question:
The City of Greensboro, in a move that had people pounding the like and retweet buttons, responded:
Miami coach Jim Larranaga, incidentally, makes it a point to never use such language. His philosophy is that it shows a lack of self-control.

BAGHDAD — Soon after interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi took office last summer, he announced plans to create a tank division for the new Iraqi army.
The $283-million project was supposed to display the power of Iraq's new government. But under the guidance of a task force overseen by one of America's top generals, it has become another chapter in a rebuilding process marked by accusations of corruption.
The U.S. contractor working on the project repeatedly warned the task force headed by Army Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus that a Lebanese middleman involved in the deal might be routing kickbacks to Iraqi Defense Ministry officials. But senior U.S. military officials did not act on the contractor's pleas for tighter financial controls, according to documents and interviews.
"If we proceed down the road we are currently on, there will be serious legal issues that will land us all in jail," the contractor, Dale Stoffel, wrote in a Nov. 30 e-mail to a senior assistant to Petraeus.

Daddy dear, tell me please, is it true what they say
in the heaven there's a cup that gets fuller each day
And I've heard that Hashem keeps it close nearby
And He fills it with His tears each time that He cries
Zeide told me, daddy dear, did he tell you the same
That when sorrow strikes His people, Hashem feels all the pain
Tell me why does He cry far away in the sky
Tell me why, daddy dear, are there tears in your eyes?
Little one, little one, it is true, yes it's true
Zeide told me years ago, and his dad told him too
Fathers cry for their children, and Hashem does the same
When we hurt, so does He, yes He feels our pain
Tears of pity from His eyes in His cup sadly flow
'Til one day when it's full all our troubles will go
We will dance, we will fly, you and I like the birds
And I cry little one 'cuz I'm touched by your words
One more question, daddy dear, answer please if you will
Just how deep is this cup, tell me when will it fill
Don't you think it is time that the Sun forever shine
Don't you think it is time, dear daddy of mine?
Little one, it is time, and I've questioned that too
So let us ask Him, together, together me and you
Father dear, do you hear our worries, our fears
Will Your eyes ever dry, is Your cup filled with tears?

We have a new "bonne" - our new house hold helper. We've actually had her now for 2 months and it's been nice to have the <unpleasant> situation with the old one behind us. (see the post - A Sort of Short Story About a Bonne ) After dispensing with the old one and discussing the particulars with our landlord - we had thought with the simple parameters of what we needed he suggested we share one between him - he always has 2 working for him - a head one and a kind of assistant that works with the head one. We shared "Fatou" for a week - good - this will work - until he told us she was leaving - as she was just temporarily replacing one of his original bonnes "Fatou-Cham" who we first met when we moved in and for whatever reason he thought she was coming back and did not - (simple org chart with ever changing names). Hmmm. Okay - we'll wait until you find a new one so we managed for about 2 weeks until then finally a knock on our door to introduce us to the new one - we learned he had hired a "sister team" so we would would actually still have our own. Hmmm. Okay. At this point we just are only hoping that no matter how he found them or knew them - we were going to have someone on the up and up. When she shared her name with us "Esperance" - we thought - Hmmm. Okay. With a name that means "hope" - maybe we've got a chance.
Up to now - I can say it's been a treat and a delight to have her help and assistance with cooking, cleaning, shopping and laundry. When we explained the schedule that she will only work from 8-2 Monday through Friday - she got it! When she is in the apartment we've noticed she's extremely discreet about how she maneuvers around the place to do her job with out intruding. And she manages the activities accordingly so about the time she knows the boys will be home for lunch - she is already out to the market, washing the laundry or even doing ironing quietly in their room, or she has left for a bit to actually eat lunch with her sister in Mr Diallo's house. She's very patient with us speaking French to her and we actually understand her too. Fingers crossed we stay on course with her. Any concerns of things missing have evaporated and I'm just **so happy** I can actually make lunch without someone staring at me!!

Having just celebrated the longest day of the year, we can say that summer is officially here. Dust off that grill, bring out the patio furniture and the big hat, and yes, don't forget the sunscreen! What with the quickly depleting ozone layer, sunscreen is turning into a cosmetic as well as health necessity. Just before I got my sunblock supply for the summer, I came across this interesting article about what to look for in a product.
But how do you choose when there are so many products on the market that tell very similar stories? Looking into our Product Intelligence App, we saw that there are over 10,000 products out there from more than a 100 brands across 78 stores.
The bubble chart below shows a distribution of product count by brands. It looks like Coppertone, Neutrogena, and Banana Boat are market leaders with the maximum penetration of products across various stores. But we can see that there are certain higher end brands like Shiseido that are also in the running.
A comparative view of the price history of products across the market reveals some interesting insights. The average price across the market is about $32. Brands like Neutrogena and Banana Boat are competitive with each other (below the average), while a brand like Shiseido is priced significantly above the mass market.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much scope to dig in and get juicier market details out of this data. For instance, in the past month, there were 20,896 price increases across the market and 16,226 decreases. The increases make sense as more people are now planning to spend time outdoors, especially since kids get out of school around this time as well. Businesses are locking in their profits in a high demand situation. Does this equation change in the winter, I wonder, even though experts say we should be using sunscreen all year long?
We'll keep monitoring changes in the sunscreen market and other summer products to bring you interesting tidbits. In the meanwhile, slather on that sunscreen and enjoy the sunshine.
