Getting into the drug program is just a matter of asking but its up to the BOP, the case manager and camp administration to decide based on your personal case and behavior.

I would like to know if the waiting list cuts off on the time that will be reduced from the sentence, since Im sure it will be a pretty long line. And how hard is it to get into the program? Rickey,

The wait could be a few months to a year. Have your brother check into it during his first team review or when he talks with the case worker.

I hear that it knocks off about a year for the inmates sentence and six months halfway house. I would just like to know how it works and if it really takes off that much time. Thanks in advance. Your site has relieved me of alot of stress.

Inmates see a counselor in camp for paperwork and other general request if they need something. Unit can be "camp" or "area designation" depending on the size of the camp (careful, mailing information that is not complete can further delay things or possibly be discarded).
