100-Series Shots And The Second Chance Act
100-series shots absolutely affect your community confinement time under the Second Chance Act.
When evaluating how much time an inmate will spend in community confinement (halfway house and home confinement), case managers use a tool called the “Five-Factor Review.”
This uses an inmate’s history before and during prison to calculate a score, which correlates to a recommended amount of time an inmate should spend in community confinement.
Among the factors that can count against you is whether or not the inmate received any incident reports during incarceration. A 100-series “shot” is the worst you can get – usually attributed to violent acts, possession of drugs, or using a cell phone.
A lot of actions that lead to a 100-series shot can also earn you additional criminal charges.
This can lead to home confinement or halfway house time being denied – and it’s 100% within the BOP’s legal right to do this if you’ve been given these kinds of shots. The Second Chance Act spells it out.
