was looking forward to dragging her out of her office by her ankles and watching her head bounce as it hit each step of the stairway. People like him are just evil. No normal person talks and acts like he does.

But I recall reading it's 54 days per year because that's 15% & the desire was to make 85% of the sentence a minimum.
But, I come up with 62 added months, or around 5 years, too.
So, we agree but differ on one detail.

In federal court you will have to serve 85% of your sentence if convicted of federal charges. Thus, if you are sentenced to 10 years in prison, you will actually serve 8.5 years in prison. However, for most state felony convictions, you will only serve 50% of your actual sentence.

convictions, which include any crimes punishable by more than one year's imprisonment, regardless of how much time a person actually spends behind bars. The ban covers nearly all felony convictions. A person who violates this provision is often referred to as a "felon-in-possession.

18 U.S.C. §§ 922, 924 (2021)https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-someone-possess-gun-after-criminal-conviction.html

18 U.S.C. 922(g) is the federal law that prohibits anyone ever convicted of any felony to ever possess any firearm either inside or outside of his home. The federal punishment for firearm possession by a felon is up to 10 years in prison.

No, I'm not a lawyer, and I realize there are exceptions through application, but usually this is the case.

Nah. He'll be armed and dangerous as soon as he can. And there are lots of people and perhaps a few organizations/corporations that will be waiting to make him well on exit.
