It's up to the Bureau of Prisons and the rules Congress sets. Currently, BOP can award up to 15% good time credit. So he can expect to do about 85% of the 72 months. If he qualifies he should look into the RDAP program. He can an additional calendar year off he completes RDAP program which is a drug rehab program.
