If eligible, Class 1 earns 30 days of good time credit per month. Class 2 earns 20 days credit per month; Class 3 earns 10 days credit per month; and Class 4 does not earn any good time. All inmates are placed in Class 2 status when they arrive

the release date is whatever the Bureau of Prisons website says it is. the date posted there has already calculated the 15% good time credit. you can check here - https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/

yes, you think about getting out every day. In the beginning, you are angry at the world and mostly at yourself. Over time, that subsides and you start planning. Then you get into a routine that makes the time go by easier. If you have the ability to set realistic goals and be content in achieving them, then you can have a productive life and live like a citizen not looking over their shoulder all the time. Solitary -

Usually the good time credit is 15%. If he was a model inmate, then the approximate release date would be 85% of 15 months or a little less than 13 months. He should be home in less than 60 days

the new Administration didn't promote the Act, we have no idea how it'll affect the inmates now that qualify.

depends, most law enforcement people use a "material witness warrant" to hold someone for as long as they want without officially charging them.

When there is another charge from a separate jurisdiction, that charging jurisdiction places a "detainer" on inmates yet to be adjudicated (brought before a magistrate or judge). Therefore, your loved one is facing another charge after doing the time for the charge she got paroled for.

No, released inmates may be picked up by civilians, family members and/or friends. The only time that a bus or train ticket is necessary is if they do not have someone to come and pick them up.

Normally it gets done within the first three months. The calculations are done by the administration of people outside the prison staff. Some inmates have credits to be determined that would affect their actual release date.

If what you are saying is accurate, 25% off 48 months is 12 months leaving 36 months of time. BUT, there are some other factors that could make the sentence even less, like if the judge allows this convict to have parole. If eligible they could conceivably get more time off but spend it on the streets as a parolee.
