About Countime

Built for the families who didn’t expect to need it.

A federal sentencing letter changes a household. The first week after, the questions multiply faster than the answers. Countime is our small attempt to fix that — a quiet companion that puts the map, the handbooks, and the language all in one place.

Who we serve

Countime is built first for white-collar offenders and their families — people who are likely facing a federal prison camp, not a high-security facility — and the loved ones who will be driving to visit, mailing books, and waiting through phone-call minutes. Most of what’s here is useful to anyone navigating minimum-custody federal incarceration.

What we believe

The system is hard enough without an interface that adds to it. Information should arrive in plain English, in a calm voice, with the citations to back it up. We’d rather be quiet and correct than loud and approximate.

What we’re not

Countime is not a law firm and we don’t give legal advice. We don’t advocate for or against any individual case. If you’re still in pre-sentencing, please work with your attorney before relying on anything you find here.

How this site stays current

Our data is sourced from the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ public facility pages. We re-verify handbook links and contact information periodically and welcome corrections from people closer to a facility than we are. If something here is wrong or out of date, please write us at the contact form.
