Serving federal time? Don’t leave days on the table. Our clients have historically served less than half of their sentence on the inside by lawfully maximizing FSA earned-time credits, preparing for RDAP, and pursuing RRC/home confinement.

How We Help

How We Help Federal Prisoners and Families Move Faster—By the Book

We navigate the BOP so you can move from prison to home faster and lawfully. Every plan is built around sentence data, eligibility, documentation, deadlines, and real BOP procedures.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

Important: 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Federal Prison Help FAQ

What is the First Step Act and how do earned time credits work?

The FSA lets eligible people earn credits by completing approved programs and 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.
