This is a very tough area to get good representation. We do not refer lawyers (most are only experts at taking your money). People with a lot of money cannot seem to get results either, which makes it hard for us to help. Actually, you can start with the Public Defender's Office, they are lawyers getting paid by the government and the only make a name for themselves by winning a hard case. Take your chances with one of them.

My recommendation is to send it where they have them listed in the bop.gov inmate locator. If it is FTC-Oklahoma City, then send it there. That is a transfer facility and they are used to transferring mail to other prisons within the federal BOP system.

If you think you are paying too much for the calls, you should definitely look into an InmateAid Discount Line. If we cannot save you money, we refund the fee - no questions asked. Or, email us your phone number and the prison or jail where your loved one is incarcerated and we will give you an honest estimate before you buy.
