Myles Metrics

The Myles Metrics are named in honor and memory of Myles Coker, who passed away at age 69 after being released from a life term in prison. Mr. Coker had a spotless prison record and was a “true father” to his sons, which led to his release after serving 23 years for selling heroin. Myles Metrics takes into account may factors, including but not limited to:

(Left to Right: Clifton Coker, Harlan Protass, Myles Coker, Kelvin Coker)
  • Attaining and maintaining exceptional model prisoner status while serving time in prison.
  • A defendant's rehabilitative efforts as evidenced by his/her "Education Data Transcript," which is a Board Of Prison (“BOP”) document that any defendant may obtain from his/her counselor or case manager.
  • A defendant's post-conviction behavior as evidenced by his/her "Disciplinary Report" or "Inmate Progress Report," both of which are BOP documents that any defendant can get from his/her counselor or case manager.
  • The nature and circumstances of a defendant's offense and his/her history and characteristics as reflected in his/her "Presentence Report".
  • A defendant's work history within the BOP (that is, for UNICOR Prison Industries).
  • Any special awards that a defendant received while in prison.
  • Any special programs in which a defendant participated while in prison (such as the "Suicide Watch Companion Program" or "Challenge Program," among others).
  • Letters from BOP officials (whether a guard, case manager, counselor or whomever) if they are able to obtain them.
  • Letters of support from community leaders in the community from which they came (priests, rabbis, community leaders, politicians, etc.).
  • The defendant's family support system.
  • The nature of a defendant's "release plan".
  • Whether the defendant has any skills that will help in the finding of a job if released from prison.
  • How long a defendant's sentence is and how many years a defendant has served, and what percentage of a defendant's sentence has been served.
  • Any medical issues of which a defendant might be suffering (anything from hypertension to diabetes to cancers).
  • Any psychiatric issues from which a defendant might be suffering.
  • The defendant's original Guidelines sentencing range as compared to the sentence actually received and, more particularly, any reasons given by a judge for a non-Guidelines sentence as reflected in a defendant's "Judgment of Conviction" form.
