Legal Disclaimer & Notice

Please read this notice carefully. It describes what Remedy Navigators is, what we do, and the important limitations of our service. By using this website or our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer.

The Short Version

  • We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation.
  • We prepare documents. We help you file procedurally correct administrative remedy forms with the BOP.
  • We do not guarantee outcomes. A procedurally complete filing preserves your right to court — it does not guarantee a favorable BOP response.
  • If you need a lawyer, we can help you find one. We do not replace one.

Not a Law Firm — Not Legal Advice

Remedy Navigators is not a law firm. We are a document preparation and case management service. Nothing on this website, in our materials, in our communications, or in our service constitutes legal advice, legal representation, or the practice of law.

Our team members — including those with prior BOP administrative experience and those who have personally navigated the federal administrative remedy process — are not licensed attorneys. They cannot and do not provide legal advice, predict outcomes, interpret the law as it applies to your specific facts, or represent you in any legal proceeding.

If you need legal advice, you should consult a licensed attorney who specializes in prisoners' rights or civil rights litigation. Many legal aid organizations provide free or low-cost representation to incarcerated individuals.

What We Do

We help individuals and their families understand the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) administrative remedy process and prepare procedurally complete filings — BP-8, BP-9, BP-10, and BP-11 — in accordance with 28 CFR Part 542 and BOP Program Statement 1330.18.

Our service includes: explaining the process and deadlines, reviewing draft submissions for procedural completeness, tracking deadlines, organizing documentation, and preparing written submissions for review and signature by the inmate or their family member.

We do not draft legal arguments, assess the legal merits of a claim, advise on litigation strategy, or file documents on behalf of clients. All submissions are reviewed, signed, and sent by the client or their authorized family member.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding the outcome of any administrative remedy filing or any subsequent legal proceeding. The Bureau of Prisons grants favorable outcomes in approximately 2.6% of all administrative remedy filings, based on publicly available FOIA data covering 1.78 million filings.

Our goal on every case is procedural completeness — ensuring that every form is correct, every deadline is met, and every step is completed in order. A procedurally complete filing preserves your right to go to court. It does not guarantee a favorable outcome from the BOP or from any court.

Individual results will vary based on the facts of each case, the facility, the applicable regulations, the reviewing official, and factors outside our control. Past performance on any case is not indicative of future results.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date. However, federal regulations, BOP policies, and court interpretations change. Nothing on this website should be relied upon as a substitute for current legal research or advice from a licensed attorney.

The 2.6% favorable outcome statistic is derived from a FOIA dataset of 1.78 million BOP administrative remedy filings analyzed by the Data Liberation Project. The full dataset and methodology are described on our Data Sources page.

Legal citations on this website (including citations to 28 CFR § 542, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e, and case law such as Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199 (2007)) are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice.

Illustrative Examples

The case examples and scenario descriptions on this website are illustrative composite examples based on the types of issues that commonly arise in the federal BOP administrative remedy process. They are not testimonials from specific identified clients.

Any client testimonials that appear on this website are from real clients who have provided written consent to share their experience. Testimonials reflect individual experiences and are not representative of outcomes for all clients.

Results described in any examples or testimonials are not typical. Your experience may differ significantly based on the specific facts of your case.

Third-Party Links and Referrals

This website may contain links to third-party websites, legal aid organizations, or attorney referral services. These links are provided for informational purposes only. Remedy Navigators does not endorse, recommend, or guarantee the services of any third party.

If we refer you to an attorney or legal organization, that referral does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Remedy Navigators, or between you and any referred attorney unless you separately engage that attorney.

We do not receive compensation for attorney referrals.

Jurisdiction

This website is operated from the United States. The information on this website is intended for individuals subject to the jurisdiction of the United States federal court system and the Bureau of Prisons.

The Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), 42 U.S.C. § 1997e, and the BOP administrative remedy process described on this website apply to federal civil rights claims filed in federal court. State prisoners must exhaust their state prison system's grievance process before filing federal civil rights claims. State grievance processes vary significantly by state.

Nothing on this website should be construed as legal advice applicable to any jurisdiction outside the United States.
