Program reviewProgram review (team meeting)
The recurring Unit Team meeting — every 180 days, then every 90 within roughly 18 months of release — where PATTERN is rescored, FSA credits and program plans are reviewed, and RRC recommendations are made. It's the natural venue to raise computation discrepancies, in writing, before filing remedies.

Estimates, not promises
This page describes federal law and Bureau of Prisons policy in general terms for education. It is not legal advice, it doesn't account for the facts of any individual case, and no attorney–client relationship is created by reading it. The BOP makes all final release-date determinations. Have an attorney review anything before you file it. Built by OutDate, the federal release date calculator.
