Coverage is collected automatically and reviewed by hand before it lands here. Headlines are the outlets' words, not mine.

**Need help with this? Just ask.**

These pages cover the general rules. Your situation has details they don't. Email me a question. **Answers are free** , and "you don't need to pay anyone for this" is my most common answer.

[hello@federalprisondude.com](mailto:hello@federalprisondude.com?subject=Question%20about%20FCI%20Pekin)

I answer in the order received, usually within a couple of days. I have a day job. If your situation genuinely needs more than an email, I take a limited number of consults, so say so and we'll work it out.
