Under the First Step Act, which was enacted in December 2018, inmates can earn up to 54 days of good time credit per year, provided they have not engaged in any misconduct. So... good time = 15% reduction in sentence.
If these terrorists get 20 years... they can earn up to 3-years off the sentence with good behavior. That's still 17-years in the Federal pen. 10 year sentence can get up to 1-1/2 years off, which is still 8-1/2 years in prison.
Federal time is NOT cut in half. At best, it's 15% discount.
Nope. Federal crime = Federal time.
