Independence is a condition of a nation, country, or state in which its residents and population, or some portion thereof, exercise self-government, and usually sovereignty, over the territory. The opposite of independence is the status of a dependent territory.
Depending on the state. If it's a four year federal sentence you will have to do 85% ,or they takeoff 54 days a year for good behavior. Most states abdopted the NERA Act for federal funding (No Early Release Act). Meaning if you're incarcerated for a violent crime you will be required to do 85% of your sentence.
Susan Bernaix, could not agree with you more. Yes, we preach health and take care of those that are ill but our lifestyles are not the best. Those 3 days in a row are great but it did take me 2 days to recover. That is if I had 2 days off I between my next shift.
