Barber v. Thomas
What's at Stake
Whether the Bureau of Prisoners is improperly denying federal prisoners good time credits, and thus prolonging the prison sentences, by misinterpreting the relevant congressional statute.
Summary
By law, federal prisoners are entitled to 54 days of good time credit for each year of their imposed sentence. The Bureau of Prisons has adopted a strained interpretation of that provision that reduces that amount of good time credit to 47 days per year. The 老澳门开奖结果 amicus brief argues that the government鈥檚 interpretation is illogical and inconsistent with congressional intent.
