My Justice AI | Federal Prison Preparation

Know what federal prison actually looks like before you get there.

Straight answers about the Bureau of Prisons from someone who has been through it: self-surrender, earned time credits, halfway house and home confinement, and what the day-to-day is really like. No hypotheticals. No promises. No pressure.

My Justice AI is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We work alongside your defense attorney, not in place of one.

The hardest part is not knowing.

  • How much of my sentence will I actually serve?
  • What is a federal camp really like?
  • What happens to my family and my income while I'm gone?
  • Is what I'm reading online even true?

Most of what people hear about federal prison comes from television, message boards, or someone else's worst story. Your attorney is focused on your case, which is exactly where their attention belongs. What happens after sentencing tends to get far less of anyone's time.

That gap is where we work. We replace rumors with how the system actually operates, so you and your family can plan around facts.

What we walk you through, stage by stage.

Every case is different, but the path through the federal system follows the same steps. We explain each one before you reach it.

  1. Before sentencing

    What the presentence investigation interview is, what the report is used for, and why it follows you into the Bureau of Prisons.

  2. Designation and self-surrender

    How facilities are assigned, what to bring, and what to settle at home before surrender day.

  3. The first weeks inside

    Intake, daily routines, the unwritten rules, and how phone calls, email, visits, and commissary work.

  4. Earned time credits

    How First Step Act credits are earned and calculated, and how to check that yours are being applied correctly.

  5. Programs and assessments

    Risk and needs assessments, recidivism reduction programs, and how participation connects to credits.

  6. When something goes wrong

    The administrative remedy process, from informal resolution through BP-9, BP-10, and BP-11, including documentation and keeping records.

  7. Going home

    Prerelease custody, halfway house and home confinement, and planning for reentry.

Who you'll be talking to.

AGENCY NOTE / Compliance Hold: Co's personal historyThe copy below discloses Co's own conviction and sentence. It must not publish without Co's written authorization. It is framed strictly as his personal experience, not as a result clients should expect. Confirm his current bar status first: if he is not currently licensed, "former attorney" is the only acceptable description; if he is licensed, attorney-advertising rules need review before this section goes live.

Co Hoang is a former attorney who went through the federal system as a defendant. He was sentenced to 49 months and came home after 15.

He started My Justice AI because the information he needed was hard to find, and much of what he was told turned out to be wrong. He knows the law, the Bureau of Prisons policies, and the culture inside from both sides of it.

Co's experience is his own. Every case is different, and no one can predict or promise how much time a particular person will serve.

What we won't do.

You've probably already talked to people who made big promises. This is how we're different.

  • We won't promise a result.

    Sentencing and release decisions belong to the court and the Bureau of Prisons. We help you understand every option that exists under current law so nothing gets missed.

  • We won't deal in hypotheticals.

    You'll hear what the law and BOP policy actually say, and where something is uncertain, we'll tell you it's uncertain.

  • We won't pressure you.

    The consultation is a conversation. If it isn't a fit, you'll leave with better information than you came in with.

  • We won't replace your attorney.

    We don't give legal advice or represent anyone. We work alongside your defense counsel.

AGENCY NOTE / Compliance Hold: TestimonialsNo approved client testimonials were provided at onboarding. Add real quotes only with written client permission (first name or initials acceptable given the subject matter) and a "results vary; past outcomes do not guarantee future results" disclaimer.

If you're here for someone you love.

Many of our conversations start with a spouse, a son, or a daughter. You're welcome to book a consultation on someone else's behalf.

We'll help you understand what they're facing, what the months ahead may look like for your household, and what you can do from the outside to help them get home.

How the consultation works.

  1. Step 1

    Pick a time

    Choose a slot that works for you. Weekday and weekend times are available.

  2. Step 2

    We call you

    Co calls you at the number you provide. Bring your questions, and tell us where things stand.

  3. Step 3

    You decide

    You'll leave with clear answers. If you want ongoing help, we'll explain how that works. If not, that's fine too.

AGENCY NOTE / Compliance Hold: PricingIntake doesn't say whether the consultation is complimentary. If it is, use "complimentary" or "no-cost" here and in the hero (never "free"). If it's paid, state the fee plainly.

Common questions.

Is this legal advice?
No. My Justice AI is an advisory and education service, not a law firm. We explain how the federal prison system works. Questions about your charges, plea, or sentence belong with your defense attorney.
Is what I tell you confidential?
We keep what you share private. However, conversations with us are not covered by attorney-client privilege. Before you discuss the specifics of your case with anyone other than your lawyer, ask your attorney what's appropriate to share.
Can you reduce my sentence?
No one outside the court can do that, and you should be wary of anyone who says they can. What we can do is help you understand the credits, programs, and prerelease options available under current law, so you're not leaving any of them on the table.
Where does the AI come in?
AGENCY NOTE / Compliance Hold: AI useConfirm with Co how AI tools are actually used and whether any client information is entered into them. The answer below assumes only public law and policy go into AI tools. If client details are used, this answer and the Privacy Policy must disclose it and he needs client consent.
We use AI research tools to help organize and review public law and Bureau of Prisons policy relevant to your situation. Co reviews everything personally. AI supports the research; it doesn't make the judgment calls.
I'm booking for a family member. Is that okay?
Yes. Pick a time and let us know on the booking form that the consultation is for someone close to you.
What if I'm already inside?
A family member can book on your behalf. We can talk through credits, programs, the remedy process, and prerelease planning with them.

You don't have to plan around rumors.

One phone conversation, with someone who has been through it, about what's actually ahead.
