Federal Correctional Law

The Lockridge Law Firm is built upon over two decades of experience, including service as an attorney within the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). This unique background provides unparalleled insight into the internal policies, regulations, and defense strategies of the federal correctional system.

We represent individuals under BOP jurisdiction to challenge confinement decisions, pursue sentence reductions, and defend constitutional rights.

Post-Conviction Relief & Sentence Reduction

We advocate for early release based on legal and compelling circumstances.

  • Compassionate Release Motions: Pursuing sentence reductions under the First Step Act for inmates facing serious medical decline, advanced age, or critical family need.

  • Habeas Corpus Challenges ($\S 2241$): Challenging the execution of a sentence based on BOP errors in calculating good time credits, prior custody credit, or program eligibility.

Prison Rights & Accountability

We hold the government accountable for violations arising from the conditions of confinement.

  • FTCA Claims Against BOP: Pursuing claims for government negligence, including inadequate medical care, negligent delay in treatment or referral, and failure to protect from harm.

  • Civil Rights Litigation: Challenging unlawful disciplinary actions, due process violations, and arbitrary BOP decisions regarding facility designation or program placement.
