IMPRISONMENT

The defendant is committed to the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a total term of 51 months.

A term of 51 months is imposed as to each Indictment 1:09CR00166-001JB and Indictment 1:09CR02780-001JB; said terms shall run concurrently for a total term of 51 months.

Defendant Eugene Campbell's offense level is 26 and his criminal history is category II. As to Indictment CR 09-166 JB, the guideline sentencing range is 70 to 87 months. As to Indictment CR 09-2780 JB, the guideline sentencing range is 60 months. The Court notes that the defendant robbed the Century Bank located at St. Michael's Drive in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that the defendant later knowingly escaped from custody while at the La Pasada halfway house in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the facility in which he was lawfully confined by the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico after his arrest for bank robbery. His escape constitutes a felony offense under 18 U.S.C. § 2113A. The Court has carefully considered the guideline sentencing range established for the applicable category of offense committed by the applicable category of defendant. The Court has also taken into consideration other sentencing goals. Specifically, the Court has also considered the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1)-(7). The Court believes, after careful consideration of the circumstances in this case, that the punishment that is set forth in the advisory guideline range for both offenses is not appropriate.

The Court has considered the kinds of sentences established by the guidelines, and the Court believes that a sentence of 51 months is adequate to reflect the seriousness of both of these offenses. The Court also believes that this sentence is a sufficiently serious sentence to promote respect for the law, both by Campbell, and also the public, and anyone else that might look at committing these crimes. The Court believes this sentence provides a more just punishment given the circumstances, which the Court views as unique, than would a guideline sentence. The Court agrees with the United States that bank robbery and escape are serious crimes, and the Court believes that it is giving an equally serious sentence. Campbell created dangerous situations both in committing the bank robbery and also the escape. But the Court is also aware of the positive progress Campbell had made at the halfway house before he left to attend to his family in Seattle, Washington. The Court has also considered that Campbell turned himself in as soon as he had provided for his family. The Court believes its sentence of what amounts to an additional ten months over what would have been his sentence had he not disappeared appropriately punishes Campbell for unlawfully leaving the halfway house.

The Court believes this sentence affords adequate deterrence both to Campbell specifically and to the population generally, and that the sentence adequately protects the public. The Court's task is not to come up with a reasonable sentence, but to come up with one that reflects the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), but the Court believes that this more reasonable sentence adequately reflects the factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and is sufficient without being greater than is necessary to comply with the purposes of punishment set forth in the Sentencing Reform Act. The Court first recommends FCI SeaTac, WA and secondarily recommends FCI Sheridan, OR, if eligible. The Court recommends the defendant participate in the Bureau of Prisons 500 hour drug and alcohol treatment program. [x] The court makes these recommendations to the Bureau of Prisons: [x] The defendant is remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal. [ ] The defendant must surrender to the United States Marshal for this district: [ ] at on [ ] as notified by the United States Marshal. [ ] The defendant must surrender for service of sentence at the institution designated by the Bureau of Prisons: [ ] before 2 p.m. on [ ] as notified by the United States Marshal [ ] as notified by the Probation or Pretrial Service Office.
