Question 1

What services does Dr. Prison offer?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Prison provides federal prison consulting, compassionate release advocacy, reentry planning, and family support services. Founded by Dr. Patrick Fisher, PhD, LPC, NCC, we help incarcerated individuals and their families navigate the Bureau of Prisons system, sentence reduction options, and the transition back to community life.

Question 2

What is compassionate release?

Accepted Answer

Compassionate release allows federal inmates to petition for early release due to extraordinary and compelling circumstances — such as terminal illness, debilitating medical conditions, advanced age, or family emergencies. The First Step Act of 2018 expanded access by allowing inmates to petition courts directly after exhausting BOP administrative remedies.

Question 3

Can you help with sentence reduction?

Accepted Answer

We provide consulting and advocacy for sentence reduction options including compassionate release, the First Step Act earned time credits, Rule 35 motions, and clemency petitions. Each case is evaluated individually based on the specific circumstances, charges, and institutional record.

Question 4

Do you work with families of inmates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide guidance for families navigating visitation, communication, financial support, legal advocacy, and reentry planning. The incarceration experience affects the entire family, and we believe informed families make better advocates.

Question 5

Is Dr. Prison a law firm?

Accepted Answer

No. Dr. Prison is a consulting and advocacy service, not a law firm. We do not provide legal representation. We work alongside attorneys, provide research and documentation support, prepare compassionate release petitions, and help families understand the federal system. For legal representation, we recommend consulting a federal criminal defense attorney.
