    (a) The Bureau of Prisons may place in a shock incarceration program

but not more than 30, months, if such person consents to that placement.
    (b) For such initial portion of the term of imprisonment as the 
Bureau of Prisons may determine, not to exceed 6 months, an inmate in 
the shock incarceration program shall be required to--
        (1) adhere to a highly regimented schedule that provides the 
    strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, drill, and 
    ceremony characteristic of military basic training; and
        (2) participate in appropriate job training and educational 
    programs (including literacy programs) and drug, alcohol, and other 
    counseling programs.

    (c) An inmate who in the judgment of the Director of the Bureau of 
Prisons has successfully completed the required period of shock 
incarceration shall remain in the custody of the Bureau for such period 
(not to exceed the remainder of the prison term otherwise required by 
law to be served by that inmate), and under such conditions, as the 
Bureau deems appropriate.
