The seven phases

This is the plan, step by step. Each phase shows what the founder wrote by hand, what the platform does about it, and who walks alongside the family.

03

Incarceration

Navigate life inside.
Show

From the plan

  • How to report; commissary; calls; etc.
  • Initial profile page and communication
  • BRAVE Church: BSF, PF (Prison Fellowship), Mentors, Inmate Church, Chaplains, Gloo
  • Build profile and program
  • Assure FSA / SCA and other numbers
  • Connect with an outside church in your area
  • Connect with HUBS for support
  • Family or friend manages the profile and mails to you

Named people and organizations are planned partners or example referrals unless their directory listing says Verified partner.

What the platform does

  • A reporting-day checklist and guides for commissary and phone setup that link to official channels.
  • The person's profile page, managed by the family.
  • Faith connections: mentors, chaplains, church services inside, and an outside church near home. BRAVE Church in Denver, the founding church partner, runs campuses inside two Colorado prisons. Bible Study Fellowship, Prison Fellowship and Gloo are planned partners, with no affiliation implied.
  • The release-date estimator: good conduct time, First Step Act credits and Second Chance Act halfway-house time.
  • Matching with an outside church near where they will come home, and with support hubs as they join the directory.
  • Letters and emails drafted here, sent by the family through their own CorrLinks account.

How FSA credits work

First Step Act credits build at 10 days for every 30 days of eligible programming, or 15 days per 30 after two assessments in a row at minimum or low PATTERN risk. Up to 365 days can move supervised release earlier when the sentence includes it. The rest goes toward a halfway house or home confinement. Credits are applied only at minimum or low risk. BOP's calculation controls, so check it for errors. This is information, not legal advice. Ask your attorney.

Never forward their calls

Call forwarding, three-way calls and local-number forwarding services are banned at every BOP facility (PS 5264.09, Sept 2026); using one is prohibited act code 297 (28 CFR 541.3, High severity) and can cost the person inside good conduct time and First Step Act credits.

By design: the family sends every message

The family sends every message themselves through their own CorrLinks account. BOP rules bar forwarding these emails to anyone who is not an approved contact, and either side can lose email access for it. The platform drafts text; it never sends, forwards or receives anything.

Return to Community

Transition from custody to community.
Show

From the plan

  • Church engagement
  • HUBS for support
  • Job hiring / training
  • Support items needed

What the platform does

  • A halfway-house and home-confinement checklist.
  • Job and training leads from partner programs as they join the directory.
  • A support-items list: ID, phone, clothes, transit, a first-week meal.
  • Church engagement and support hub check-ins.

Two ways this phase can look

Halfway house (RRC)

A Residential Reentry Center is a supervised residence run under contract with the Bureau of Prisons. The person lives there, signs in and out, works or looks for work, and pays part of their income toward the stay. It is still custody, and each RRC sets its own check-in and pass rules.

  • An RRC checklist: intake paperwork, house rules, sign-out and pass procedures, curfew.
  • Job-search and employment-verification steps, with a plan for getting to work.
  • A plan for the subsistence payment (25 percent of gross income) and a savings goal for moving out.
  • A guide to how RRC placement works and what the family can do.
Home confinement

The person lives at an approved home, under monitoring, and follows a schedule approved in advance. Most people on federal home confinement are supervised through a Residential Reentry Center. It is still custody, and the rules come from that placement.

  • A home-confinement checklist: monitoring equipment, check-in schedule, approved address and house rules.
  • Steps for the weekly activity schedule and for asking for changes.
  • Employment verification and visitor rules, written for the whole household.
  • What to do, step by step, if the monitor or phone stops working.
  • A home-confinement guide for everyone living in the home.

The family picks the track in the app, and the checklist and guide follow it. Not sure yet? Pick both.

One record, start to finish

Every family has one case.

The seven phases are simply its status. The same case carries the family from phase 1 to phase 7. Documents, checklists, credits and connections carry forward, so nothing gets rebuilt between stages.

The family stays the account manager the whole way and decides what partners can see.
