A 30 to 40 year sentence means he will be out in 10 to 13 years. Time served is not "straight time". "Good time" meaning time serverd where you are not violating prisone rules or commiting any crimes is served at double to tripple the rate. In other words you get credit for 3 days for each "good day".
Bzzzt. Not any more. Federal time is WYSIWYG. If you're sentenced to 40 yrs, you're gonna do 40yrs.
Notice how this knucklehead is trying to take credit for being more than just a failed flunky? He wants to get the death penalty. He wants to be a martyr. He wants 79 virgins.
I say deprive him of that "glory".
Federal Supermax is no Club Fed. They're locked in a cell alone, for 23 hrs a day. One hour of "exercise", in a cage, handcuffed and shackled. Showers every 3 days, also handcuffed and shackled. If they take you out of the cell for any reason, you're handcuffed, shackled and escorted by from 2 to 5 guards. Food comes in through a slot. 20 minutes later your tray better be back in the slot for pickup, or 6 guards will come in, throw water on you, and pin you down with electric stun shields until you turn blue from not breathing.
If you're good, they might let you have a cctv that shows educational videos. Religious services are by cctv as well. Human contact is kept to a minimum. You may be lucky enough to be able to yell into vents to talk to other prisoners, but most of them are crazier than a sithouse rat, eventually.
40 years of that sounds just about right for old zach.
