We receive phone calls, especially around the holidays, asking us if there is any way to just ask the judge or the prison to basically decide to let someone out early because “he’s already served so much time.” The answer is yes, both from the President for a federal sentence being served in federal prison and the Governor of the State of California for a conviction under California law being served in a county jail or state prison.
