Reach us about the federal RDAP

A general guide cannot tell you how BOP will apply the rules to a particular judgment, drug or alcohol record, or treatment problem. Whether you are facing a federal sentence, you are in BOP custody, or you are helping someone who is, you can talk with attorney Brandon Sample about the issue and whether we can help. Criminal Center is a private law firm, not the Bureau of Prisons.

What issue are you facing?

  • Preparing for sentencing and trying to understand RDAP
  • Missing or disputed records of a drug or alcohol problem
  • A BOP decision on admission or on early release eligibility
  • A gun enhancement, a detainer or another possible exclusion
  • Waiting list, transfer or treatment-completion concerns
  • Removal from RDAP or a community treatment problem
  • A possible error in the RDAP time off or other credits
  • RDAP questions about a D.C. Code sentence

What happens next

Send the request form on this page. We'll contact you about whether we can help and how to set a time. Sending the form does not book a time or file an administrative remedy.

The form has no separate deadline field, and you do not need to describe the issue in the form. If a BOP or court deadline is close, contact your current lawyer if you have one. Don't assume a deadline has been extended or an appeal has been filed while you wait to hear from us.

Prepare for the conversation

If you have them, keep the judgment, any BOP notice, the sentence information and the BOP register number nearby. You don't need to send them with this form. Please leave medical records, a full presentence report, Social Security numbers and children's personal details out of the form.

Before you fill in the form

Please leave out medical records, a full presentence report, Social Security numbers and children's personal details. You do not need to describe the issue in the form.

Sending this form doesn't make us your lawyer or protect any deadline. Please share only basic contact and case information, not admissions or sensitive documents. We keep consultation information confidential as Vermont ethics rules require, even if we don't take your case.
