Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) is an intensive substance abuse program administered by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) offered to federal prisoners who qualify and voluntarily elect to enroll.[1] Upon successful completion of the program, prisoners who meet the necessary criteria are eligible for a 12-month reduction of their sentence and possibly six months in a halfway house.[2] Michael Vick was rumored to have entered the program while serving out his sentence at a Federal Prison in Leavenworth, Kansas.[3]
