    FSA

    I don’t think you get credit until it’s actually been completed. BoP isn’t that nice where they give you time of if you promise to do something in the future. 😀 Also, FSA doesn’t always give time off… Sometimes the release date is the same but they qualify for a halfway house or home...

    FSA

    I think the best person to answer that would be the inmate's case manager. It's literally their job to help with that sort of thing and know what's going on with the inmate's case. The case manager would also be aware of the status of the inmate's participation in "Evidence Based Recidivism...

    Projected release date

    "Good time" in the federal system works out to 54 days per year, but the projected release date already takes that into account (it assumes you are getting good time, rather than assuming you aren't). There are ways to lower your time (beyond good time), but they are very specific and not...

    No worries… it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to track the inmate if it’s someone you care enough to know where they are. The prison system can move an inmate at any time. So it lets you get an alert if they are moved. Search for them here and then click their name once you find them...

    Each prison has a different way to electronically communicate with inmates. That’s why I would suggest asking the facility directly. They will be able to direct you the best way for their facility.

    Lompoc has 3 facilities, a medium security, a low security and a minimum security (camp). You can find their address, phone number and email (to talk to employees to help you get info about an inmate) here: https://inmateintake.com/locations/lompoc-usp.125/

    Generally speaking, inmates don’t have normal access to the Internet if they are in a prison. So if you are trying to send them a message here, chances are very high they aren’t getting notified. Your best option would be to write them a snail-mail letter and ask them the easiest way to...

    Snail mail will be your best bet, since you can't just pick up the phone and ask them. They probably can receive electronic letters (depending on the facility), but how to do that will be different depending on the inmate/facility. Probably best to write them a letter and ask them if they can...

    No, you would need to write them a letter, or depending on the facility, they may have a way to receive electronic letters (usually at a cost). Not exactly email, but it will be faster than snail mail. You will want to contact the inmate via normal letter or phone call to see if they can...

    You can remove your account by deleting it, but an inmate can’t be removed unless you remove them from the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ system (the inmate data comes directly from the BoP systems… there isn’t a way to add or remove someone on our end from that).

    Most likely a sentence adjustment from the court. The Bureau of Prisons can't change someone's sentence beyond making adjustments for "good time" (up to 54 days off per year) or removing a year for successful RDAP completion. That change is a 279 day extension, which is more than someone could...

    Most likely ya... If that's the case, it could be disciplinary for a set amount of time for something he did. It could also be temporary not for something he did (for example is there was a fight that they didn't see and they are investigating who was involved and who was at fault). I believe...

    If It’s for discipline, I don’t think there is a way other than maybe write the inmate a letter and ask them to write you a letter back telling you. You could call the prison and ask, but I suspect they wouldn’t tell you (because of privacy and all that).

    In transit

    Really only can just ask them. When you are sentenced, you can request a specific facility, but until your paperwork is processed by the Bureau of Prisons, that's all it is (a request). They will notify the person of the facility they are to report to, but that's not public info. So either...

    In transit

    Don't know for certain, but I'm guessing it's just a placeholder. *Technically* after someone has been sentenced, and before they surrender, they are "in-transit" to the facility, right? :)

    There isn't a specific place. Someone would normally stay at their home (since that's where they live). There might be conditions on a bail/bond release (for example you might need to check-in with probation/pre-trial services and they might not allow you to leave the state/district without...
