GAO reviewed sentencing and parole decisions for federal offenders who committed 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 violators 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.
