If you are living a life of crime, you should probably acquaint yourself with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Many charges carry mandatory minimum sentences that can get you incarcerated for decades, if not the rest of your life.

The Guidelines are the product of the United States Sentencing Commission, which was created by the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984.  The Guidelines’ primary goal was to alleviate sentencing disparities that research had indicated were prevalent in the existing sentencing system, and the guidelines reform was specifically intended to provide for determinate sentencing.
