Others, like Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Sub-committee on Crime and Drugs, have recently complained about what they deem to be inadequate sentencing in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act cases.
They said the actual federal sentencing guidelines should be half that and he should get even less time in prison because of his many good deeds and contributions to society before his arrest.
Sentencing rules state that if an offender is sent back to jail they can be detained in custody for the remainder of their sentence, if it is considered unsafe to release them.
