About
Inmate.us exists because when we were navigating the federal prison system, the information we needed didn't exist in one place. The BOP's website is bureaucratic. Legal resources assume you have an attorney. Most consulting sites are trying to sell you something expensive.
We built this to be the resource we wish we'd had — free, practical, plain English, grounded in real experience.
Inmate.us is the free information hub. It connects to three other resources:
From clinical authority to lived experience — the books our team has written about navigating federal incarceration.
What I Wish I Knew Before Prison — From Cuffs to Freedom
A practical, plain-language guide for anyone facing federal charges, currently incarcerated, or supporting a loved one through the federal system. Written from 102 months inside.
Part of The Invisible Series
A clinical exploration of the psychological dimensions of incarceration — what families and clinicians need to understand about the unseen weight that incarceration places on a person and the people who love them.
