      If he wants special treatment to get out of his sentence early, he has to comply with that program.

      We can’t really be arguing about the validity of the charges here, this isn’t a venue where that is entertained but one where the sentence is amended under certain restrictions.

          Totally agreed. Sentencing is insane and discretion was taken away from judges by congress long ago.

          I’m more pointing out where he is within that system that arguing for reform. I’m not against said reform, but it’s a totally different topic.
