    There is no parole per se for Federal crimes.   On state crimes you might see a guy sentenced to 15 years and he gets out on parole after 5 years.   That doesn't happen for Federal inmates.
    The Feds allow 53 days per year of "good time."   So if a guy is sentenced to 10 years, and he doesn't get in to trouble, such as, being in a fist fight, or smoking pot, at best he will have 530 days removed from his sentence.   It goes year by year, so if he is caught smoking pot one day, his 53 good days for that year are erased, and he can try again next year to be a good inmate.
    Some guys serve the whole stretch, some guys who are good inmates are sentenced to 10 years, but serve only 8 1/2 years.

    Years ago, the Feds had a program to eradicate felon convictions.   After a guy had done his time, and probation, he could request a review of his case.  ATF would talk to his probation officer, and to his boss.   His house would be searched.
    If he came up clean, and if his was a non violent crime that did not involve guns, all rights would be restored including the right to own firearms.   Lots of convicted federal felons had their guns rights restored under this program.
    In 1993,  the President passed a new rule that de funded this program.   So that nobody could have their records reviewed any more because there was no money for ATF to attempt to restore gun rights.   Do you remember who was First Lady and co-President in that year?
    Yes, it is all part of the Dems incessant move to confiscate all firearms.

    MY post office can no longer deliver mail with tracking numbers. They can't read the address correctly and conveniently deliver to defunct business address now for pick-ups. It's all the sign of the times. Just wait when all the homeless show up in the neighborhood looking for food and shelter.

    Allen, I won't say the name, but it rhymes with "distillery".  (Sort of.)
    But, it wasn't a rule, it was a budget item engineered by the Dems in the House & signed by Slick Willie.  Both Bushes signed off on the same item, showing that neither had a backbone (or read the budget bills).  I don't know if Trump has pardoned anyone who was not a crony.

    Then there's having your record expunged.  Depending on where you are, you can have certain arrests & convictions erased from your records. Then you can answer that you haven't been arrested or convicted on certain forms and you don't have to disclose them. You can even have your mental health records expunged. You make an application to various agencies & if no one cares or is simply lazy,  Shazam.
