The Parole Board has up to three decision options they can make at a Parole Hearing: Parole, Deferment or a Serve Out. A SERVE OUT is where the inmate is required to serve the sentence imposed by the Court, minus any statutory time and other credits received. There are no future parole hearings for those who are served out and the offender is released without supervision.

The type of facility will tell you exactly what the classification your son was designated. Classification codes refer to the assessment of the offender's level of risk, or their needs.

If his first chance at release via parole is 2018 then that is probably the best case scenario for him. The early release depends mostly on him. If he follows all of the recommended programming set by his counselor, does his time without an incident report and can convey his contrition

Unfortunately, once an offender is given a BOP Inmate ID number, they are property of the United States Justice Department for the term of their Judgement and Commitment Order. The Pre-sentence Report will create a guideline that the Bureau of Prisons will ues in determining the custody level of the inmate. The length of sentence, criminal history, whether violence or a weapon was used in the crime make up a profile that they use to designate and inmate. Once that
