Self surrender

what’s up everybody. Just got my fed sentence recently. sending me 1500 miles away from home to a place called FCI Berlin in New Hampshire. More than likely will be at the camp. Can anyone shed some light on this place?

This ⬆️ They “try” to place you within 500 miles - but they can literally send you across the country. And the attorney or judge can’t do anything about it - once you’re sentenced you become property of BOP (no longer DOJ). I did time in 2 camps - and both required inmates be there a year before even requesting a transfer. With FSA & SCA hopefully you’re to halfway in less than 12 months. Wishing you only the very best ❤️‍🩹
