About

Free family support, built from lived experience

InmateHelp.org provides free guides, a weekly newsletter, and practical resources for families navigating the federal prison system. Every resource is written by people who've been through it — not lawyers reading from textbooks.

We believe families shouldn't have to pay for basic information about how the BOP works. If you need personalized help beyond our free resources, our network includes professional consulting through DrPrison.org.
