What is the dollar amount involved? The guidelines usually go off of how much money was involved, criminal history, and cooperation level. If the people your dad is willing to set up are above him, he should talk to his attorney about making some kind of deal in exchange for information. I do find it ridiculous that they would put someone in prison for that long for a first offense though. What was the "said drug"? It really all depends on the dollar amount and how big of a role he had
