So I’d like to hear from the brain trust here on the procedures on Federal Prison sentencing. There is a very well known POS here in Livingston that was indicted on insurance fraud to the tune of 1.8 million dollars. He struck a deal in feral court and plead guilty to most charges. The sentencing was 90 days after his court hearing and 2 weeks ago the Judge sentenced him to 2 years in the pen as per news report. Now 2 weeks later after the judge banged the gavel he still drives by my house every morning going to his place of business which happens to be next door to mine. Why is he still in the free world? Does a federal sentence allow you to just report to prison when it is convenient to you?

Originally posted by cbrown View PostSo post sentencing, which he is, the Federal Bureau of Prisons will designate him to a BOP facility. BOP will notify him and the United States Pre-Trial Officer that he is assigned to. With that notification there will be a date to report to the facility he has been designated to. He does have have credit for any time he spent in Federal custody on these charges already.

He is not a flight risk nor a danger to the community. BOP allotments /space usually attempt to get inmates a space in their home region when possible. Also, there mat be some appeal process taking place....after the fact of pleading guilty. There is always some interesting twist in white collar sentencing.

I’m not a criminologist, legal authority, or formally trained person in any portion of the justice system….but I have watched a lot of YouTube videos. In some cases the convicted person has to report to prison by a certain date. That can be negotiated by the person’s legal representation (formally trained, of course) during the hearing.
