Home is a number
of days. Get it right.
Federal law says exactly when your person can come home. BOP's paperwork is often behind it. OutDate counts every day they've earned — then helps you ask for it, in writing.
- The full date ladder, in BOP's own terms
- A month-by-month credit ledger you can hand to a case manager
- Every assumption stated — estimates, never promises
How families use it
From a number you doubt to a request they have to answer.
Count every day
Good conduct time, First Step Act credits, halfway house, RDAP — computed the way the statutes say, with every assumption listed next to the answer.
Hold it against the paperwork
Enter the dates from BOP's sentence computation sheet. The difference shows up line by line, in days, with the statute behind each one.
Put it in writing
Case-manager emails, Unit Team requests, and the BP-8 → BP-11 remedy chain — drafted from your numbers, tracked against every response deadline.
The paperwork shows a later date than the law allows?
You're not imagining it — earned-time-credit miscalculations are among the most common complaints in federal facilities. Run the calculator, save the case free, and see exactly where the numbers part ways. When they do, the difference becomes a document, not an argument.
