How Does Sentencing work in Federal Court? 

Any individual sentenced to a term of incarceration in Federal Court will be required to do at least 85% of their sentence before they can be released, in contrast to most New Jersey State Court incarceration sentences, whereby most of those sentences are flat sentences. That means that an individual sentenced to a custodial term in the Federal System will be far more likely to do significant more time than that of an individual sentenced in State court. Furthermore, the Federal System has what is known as Federal Sentencing Guidelines, these in essence create guidelines for a sentencing judge to work off of when determining an appropriate sentence.
