I don't know if he's married, if he has children, how old he is, or the length of the sentence, so I answered on a macro level for anyone who was just sentenced. Start with gratitude. You will serve time with men who were taken into custody at their guilty plea, remanded that day, and never saw freedom again. You're free, and that's your chance to prepare. Make sure your judgment and commitment order is correct. Did your lawyer ask for a specific prison, not the closest prison to your home, which could be several places or a detention center? Did he ask for specific programming like the drug program? The judge may say it's up to the Bureau of Prisons, but he's happy to recommend it. From his 323 number, his lawyer could have asked for the drug program at Lompoc, but they have it at the low, not the camp, so the closest could be Yankton or Leavenworth. Ask for a specific prison, a specific surrender date, specific programming, and lay out a plan for how you come out of this. In the camps, boredom is what you have to overcome, and then you prepare for the hardest part, which in my case was coming home. You're still free, dude.
