If it's a federal sentence, and the judge likes you, they sentence you to 12 months and a day making you eligible for 15% good time.

If it's a federal sentence, and the judge likes you, they sentence you to 12 months and a day making you eligible for 15% good time. If you are in a state or county, you might get a break for good behavior and be selected for early release but because of overcrowding and the short sentenced inmates are the first to go.
