My girlfriend was sentenced to a year in Federal prison, how much time will she do

My girlfriend was sentenced to a year in Federal prison. 6 months on good behavior. What's the chances of her only doing 6 months or is do they just tell them that for fun?

Federal sentencing for a twelve month sentence is imposed as "a year and a day", which under the BOP rules makes the offender eligible for 15% good time. That means they will serve 10.2 months. Sentences over one year get good time, sentences less than a year do not. If the judge was not happy with the arrangement they could sentence her to straight 12 months and she would not be eligible for any good time and would have to do the entire sentence.
