it’s a possession of firearm by felony charge, so far the inmate has * infractions while in prison and I DON’T believe it’s under the structured sentencing act
In North Carolina, a felon in possession of a firearm can face *-36 months of imprisonment. The actual time served depends on:
- Offender's behavior in prison
- The judge's discretion
- The possibility of parole
Infractions can extend the time served. Please consult a local attorney for specific advice.
So say he doesn’t get anymore infractions while being in there would he still be looking at *-36 months? Or is it possible for him to be released a little sooner?
In North Carolina, good behavior and participation in prison programs can potentially reduce the sentence. However, the specific length of early release is at the discretion of the Department of Corrections. A local attorney can provide more detailed advice.
