Life In Prison Is A Possibility

If you are sentenced to prison for a federal drug crime, you must serve a minimum of 85 percent of your sentence, which could be up to life in prison. The amount of cocaine you are accused of possessing is a significant factor in determining the charge and penalties you will face. The differences between penalties for possession and possession with intent to distribute, for example, are based on how many grams of cocaine you had in your possession at the time of the arrest.

The base offense levels for cocaine base (crack cocaine) have changed for federal offenses committed after November 1, 2010. The new sentencing guidelines are as follows:

  • A five- to 40-year prison term for 28 grams of crack or 500 grams of cocaine
  • A 10-year to life in prison term for 280 grams of crack or five kilograms of cocaine

The following penalties apply if you have prior convictions:

  • A 20-year minimum mandatory prison term applies after one prior felony drug conviction
  • A mandatory life term of imprisonment applies after two or more prior felony drug convictions
