Just to add...conspiracy charges hold almost the same penalty as ACTUALLY COMMITTING THE CRIME.

And if you are sentenced to an FCI (Federal Correctional Facility) or USP (United States Penitentiary) or other federal prison or camp, you will do 85% of your sentence.

It's definitely NO JOKE! Don't believe the crud you hear about "federal prisons are luxury spas"...tell that to the inmates at the USPs in Levenworth or Florence!
