This Is for People Who Never Dreamed They Might Go To Prison

It May Seem Like a Nightmare, But It Doesn't Have to Be

Most of our clients are professionals — executives, business owners, doctors, and public officials (both men and women) — facing federal incarceration for the first time.


They’re not criminals by nature. They’re people who made a mistake and want to protect their future.

The Risk of Going in Unprepared

One Wrong Move Can Cost You Years

Common, irreversible mistakes include:


  • Missing RDAP or earned-time credits
  • Being designated to the wrong facility
  • Submitting disqualifying paperwork
  • Entering prison unprepared


These mistakes are permanent. Preparation is not optional.

Founder Story

Founded by Someone Who Truly Understands the System

Prison Consultants of America LLC was founded by Mike Sabo in 2006 and has been featured on Unsolved Mysteries and Discovery ID. Mike was also considered by Steven Spielberg for the movie "Catch Me If You Can." His extensive experience with the federal prison system gives PCA a perspective few firms can offer.


Mike has seen the system from the inside — not as an observer, but as someone who lived through it, studied it, and learned how decisions inside federal prison truly affect outcomes.


That experience shapes everything PCA does. Our guidance is calm, practical, and strategic — grounded in understanding both institutional rules and real-world prison life.
