How We Help (and Why It Works)

Case Review & Strategy

We examine sentence data, eligibility, disciplinary history, programming, and timelines. Then we build a step-by-step plan aligned with BOP procedures and deadlines.

Documentation That Moves the Needle

From case plan alignment to program completions and administrative remedies, we help you compile the paperwork the BOP relies on when making decisions.

Advocacy—By the Book

We pursue lawful avenues only: FSA credit audits, RDAP readiness, PATTERN-aware programming, and timely requests for RRC/home confinement where eligible.

We provide consulting and advocacy. We do not promise or guarantee early release; final decisions are made by the Bureau of Prisons under applicable law and policy.

First Step Act (FSA) Earned Time Credits

Eligible individuals can earn credits by completing approved programs and productive activities. With proper tracking and application, these credits may reduce time in secure custody and accelerate transitions to RRC or home confinement.

  • ETC Audit: We review your completed programs, productive activities, and milestones to identify missing or misapplied credits.
  • Programming Plan: We create a schedule to optimize eligible activities within your timeline.
  • Evidence File: We help assemble documentation the BOP looks for when applying credits.

RDAP: Eligibility & Readiness

The Residential Drug Abuse Program can, for qualifying individuals, reduce sentence exposure and support better placements. We focus on honest, accurate records and timely submissions.

  • Eligibility screening and readiness checklist
  • Supporting documentation and timeline planning
  • Post-RDAP steps for placements and reintegration

PATTERN Score: What Matters

PATTERN evaluates risk based on multiple factors, including disciplinary history, participation, education, and achievements while in custody.

  • Identify programs and actions that can positively influence your risk category
  • Track achievements and show sustained progress
  • Align your case plan with available opportunities

Halfway House & Home Confinement (RRC/HC)

RRC and home confinement decisions weigh eligibility, risk, documented programming, and availability. We help you present a complete record at the right time.

  • Eligibility mapping and timeline projections
  • Packet preparation and submission support
  • Follow-ups and administrative remedies where appropriate

Support for Families

We guide families through timelines, paperwork, and best practices for communication and support. Clear information reduces stress and improves outcomes.

  • Explain eligibility, credits, and placements in plain English
  • Create checklists for the next 30/60/90 days
  • Prepare questions for case managers and program staff

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the First Step Act and how do earned time credits (ETC) work?
The FSA lets eligible people earn credits by completing approved programs/activities. When applied by the BOP, credits can shorten time in secure custody and accelerate transitions to RRC or home confinement. Eligibility and caps vary.
Can I move to home confinement sooner?
Possibly, if you’re eligible and have the right documentation. We assess your case, build the record, and submit requests at the appropriate times. Final decisions rest with the BOP.
Does RDAP guarantee time off?
No. RDAP can offer significant benefits for eligible participants, but nothing is guaranteed. We help with readiness, documentation, and timing.
How do you interact with the Bureau of Prisons?
We prepare documentation, help you align your case plan, and use appropriate administrative processes. We advocate lawfully and respectfully within BOP policy.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide family consultations, timelines, and checklists to help support program participation and placements.
Do you guarantee early release or a specific placement date?
No. We never guarantee outcomes. We focus on maximizing your eligibility under current rules and helping you present the strongest lawful record possible.

Your Path to Earlier Release Starts Here

On average, our clients have historically served less than half of their sentence inside through lawful strategies like FSA credit maximization, RDAP readiness, and RRC/home confinement advocacy. Results vary; eligibility and timelines depend on individual circumstances and BOP policies.
