FlagHe is there for a assault in the second degree it is his first time in trouble with law do u think he would go to a medium max or mimumin prison? Also does doing his ged and getting into programs take time off his sentence time?
Medium as it is a violent charge.
Due to the nature of the charge, he has to serve 6/7's of the sentence which is approx 25 months less time already served.

If he is serving a determinate sentence, mere enhancement progams won't make a difference on his serving the mandatory sentence. He will also be doing some type of post-release supervision which is usually part of the sentence. The distinction between max and min prisions has diminished over the years in NYS.
Most likely he will start in a medium security facility. Also he will get credit for his good time served.
