Default Good Time Bill

My love asked me to find out if there was anything new going on with the Good Time Bill. He said he heard something last week but I haven't been able to find anything about it. Does anyone know? Thanks so much!

FedCURE posts on their site any updates. www.fedcure.org There are currently 5 pending bills affecting good time (the Barber Amendment is not one of them - it has not even been introduced) but I haven't heard that any of them are getting any action in Congress right now. The Assistant A.G. just said in a speech to a group that the DOJ is in support of an increase from 47 to 54 days good time per year but haven't seen that translated into Congressional action.
