If they have substantial information that can lead to the arrest and conviction of another person, they will get a reduction. If they save the life of a prison worker, they will get a reduction. If they get a sentence commutation from the governor or president; and if they are in federal prison and can take the RDAP program, they will get a year off plus up to another year of guaranteed halfway house.
