  Statistics On Sentences And Parole

  For Federal Offenders Who Commit

  Crimes Involving Firearms


  GAO reviewed sentencing and parole
  decisions for federal offenders who com-
  mitted federal crimes involving firearms.
  For those individuals convicted of firearms
  violations the median sentence imposed
  was 180 months as compared to 60 months
  for nonfirearms violators.

  Federal offenders, whether firearms viola-
  tors or not, are usually released before
  completing their sentences, either through
  parole or through time off for good
  behavior if denied parole. The median time
  served or to be served for those firearms
  violators granted parole was 72 months
  while the median sentence imposed was
  180 months. On the other hand, for
  firearms violators denied parole the
  median time served or to be served was
  44 months while the median sentence
  imposed was 60 months.
