Why should someone facing health care fraud charges hire Prison Consultants of America?

Health care fraud cases can result in significant federal sentences, restitution, and major personal and professional consequences. While your attorney handles the legal case, PCA helps you prepare for what may come afterward. We assist clients in understanding BOP designation, security classification, potential minimum-security placement, First Step Act eligibility, programming, sentence planning, and the realities of federal incarceration. Our goal is to help you and your family enter the process informed, prepared, and with a plan for moving forward.

When should I hire a federal prison consultant?

Ideally, preparation should begin before sentencing or BOP designation. The earlier you understand the federal prison process, the more time you have to prepare for placement, programming, incarceration, and eventual release.

Can I request a specific federal prison or prison camp?

You can express a preference, but the Federal Bureau of Prisons makes the final designation decision. Security level, offense, sentence length, medical needs, programming, bed availability, and other factors can influence placement.

Can the First Step Act help me get home sooner?

For eligible individuals, First Step Act Earned Time Credits can be applied toward prerelease custody or supervised release. Eligibility, programming, risk assessments, and proper application of earned credits all matter.

Founder Story

Founded by Someone Who Truly Understands the System

Prison Consultants of America 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.

Capital News Illinois - one of the most respected investigative news organizations in the Midwest - enlisted Michael Sabo of Prison Consultants of America to provide expert commentary on former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s prison sentence, with additional coverage appearing across multiple Illinois news outlets.
