TWO WAYS TO START. ONE SHARED PURPOSE.
You can start for yourself. You can help someone you love.
“I need help with my own packet.”
You do not need a loved one to start a conversation with Badger Paralegal. If family or friends are unable or unwilling to help, you can still ask about document preparation yourself.
Start with intake@badgerparalegal.com through the messaging process approved by your facility, or ask an authorized helper to email us. Facility contact approval may be required. Ask for a sentence-adjustment intake worksheet; leave out private case details in your first message.
Start a service inquiryGet your records checklist — print or emailPrint or share your intake worksheetYou may not be able to open this website from a DOC tablet. The printable worksheet and contact guide are designed to reach you on paper. Email is available; phone, paper-mail details and prison-provider connections remain subject to confirmation.
“I want to help someone inside.”
You do not have to assemble the whole packet alone. Start with a service inquiry, then work with the incarcerated person’s authorization to gather records and support.
Family, friends, coworkers, former employers, pastors and mentors can contribute firsthand letters and scanned documents. Authorized helpers can send PDFs or clear phone photos for review.
Ask how you can helpSee the preparation stepsThe incarcerated person remains central to the packet. A family relationship alone does not authorize sharing their case information.
No family contact available? You can make the first request yourself. Support letters are one possible part of a packet; asking about services does not require a family member to contact us for you. We will review what records and support are available with you.

HELPFUL ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Understand the service before you share documents or request a packet review.
Who can ask about a sentence-adjustment packet?
The incarcerated person can inquire directly, or a family member, friend or other supporter can contact us. Private case records are shared only with the person’s authorization.
What is included in the $350 standard preparation fee?
We help organize supplied records, prepare draft packet materials, assemble supporting exhibits and provide review and mailing guidance. We confirm the exact scope before accepting an engagement.
Can I pay online today?
No. Online payments are currently closed. Please do not send money or deposits until Badger Paralegal provides verified payment instructions.
Does a packet guarantee early release?
No. The sentencing court decides whether to grant an adjustment. Badger Paralegal is a document-preparation service, not a law firm; we do not provide legal advice or courtroom representation.
Have another question? Send a service inquiry or email Intake.
SIMPLE STEPS
What to have ready for a packet review.
1. Tell us who needs help
A family member, friend or the incarcerated person can start a conversation. Obtain the person’s authorization before sharing case documents.
2. Gather the record
Collect the judgment, DOC verification, program records and support letters. Helpers can upload PDFs or phone photos in the authorized case area.
3. Review and prepare to mail
Review each count, confirm the official forms and signatures, and check the institution and sentencing-court mailing steps.
CLEAR PROCESS. CLEAR BOUNDARIES.
Know who you are working with—and what to expect.
A sentence-adjustment packet can involve sensitive records and important deadlines. Our role, your authorization and the agreed scope should be clear before preparation begins.
Wisconsin-focused preparation
We focus on Wisconsin sentence-adjustment packet preparation and the records, supporting materials, official forms and mailing steps involved.
Authorization before access
We confirm the incarcerated person's authorization before private case information is shared with family or other helpers. A family relationship or payment alone does not automatically grant case access.
Clear price and scope
The standard packet preparation fee is $350. The written scope is confirmed before work begins. Payments are currently closed—please do not send money until official payment instructions are published.
Honest boundaries and outcomes
We prepare and organize documents. We are not a law firm, do not provide attorney representation, and cannot determine or guarantee what a court will decide.
Badger Paralegal has received permission to operate from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. This is not a DOC endorsement or referral. Client stories are shared only with explicit written permission; anonymizing a story does not replace consent.
Planning for payment through an institution or a supporter?Read the available options. Payments are currently closed, and no money should be sent.
PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR INCARCERATED CLIENTS
Have money on your books? Let us know if you plan to send a disbursement check from your institution.
You do not need a friend or family member to pay on your behalf if your institution approves a disbursement from your available inmate account funds. Wisconsin correctional institutions have procedures for requesting approved disbursements, often using a DOC-184 form. Approval and access to funds are determined by your institution; a request does not guarantee that a check will be issued.
Option 1 — Institutional-account paper check
When our payment service opens, ask your institution's Business Office or unit staff how to request an authorized payment to an outside business from your general account. If approved, the institution may issue and mail a check payable to Badger Paralegal LLC. We will supply the verified payee, mailing address and any invoice or service documentation needed before you submit a disbursement request.
A paper-check request is not payment. We confirm actual receipt and verification before work starts. Institutions may require forms, signatures and supporting documentation; restrictions and processing times vary.
Option 2 — Someone outside pays for you
A family member, friend or other authorized person may arrange payment through an approved method once payments open. They do not automatically receive access to your case information simply because they pay.
The standard sentence-adjustment packet preparation price is $350. The service scope and agreement must be confirmed before packet preparation begins.
Important — Payments are currently closed
Please do not send a check, money order, deposit or other payment now. You may contact intake@badgerparalegal.com to express interest and tell us whether you plan to pay through an institution-issued check or an outside supporter. We will save your initial inquiry, but will not start packet preparation or send the 35-question information-gathering email until payment is received and verified and the service agreement is accepted. Official payment instructions will be provided only after payment services open.
Wisconsin DOC regulations require each institution to maintain its own disbursement-request procedure. Ask institutional staff which funds can be used and what approvals are required. Wisconsin DOC policy information

Wisconsin DOC uses ICSolutions. Calls are outgoing from the inmate. The number needs PAN approval. Inmates can use their own funded debit calling account; a receiving party can alternatively use Prepaid Collect.

Ask the institution about buying ICSolutions debit phone time from the inmate’s DOC trust account. Family can also add funds to the inmate’s provider account. Funding stays with the phone provider; Badger Paralegal does not receive or hold these call funds.
A separate Badger Paralegal service-deposit account is planned for review. Deposits are not accepted yet, and would not automatically pay DOC calling charges.
Read the provider’s debit calling instructions ↗Current DOC phone, messaging and video information
Checked October 6, 2026. The provider posts domestic calls at $0.06 per minute, messages at $0.15, and paid offsite video visits at $2.50. DOC’s video guidance describes one free weekly visit and paid additional 25-minute visits where available. Facility rules and current provider checkout govern availability and charges.
Video visits use ICSolutions and require DOC approval. The provider says ordinary video stations are for personal visitors and do not authorize attorney or medical calls. Badger Paralegal consultation video is not enabled; confirm a permitted process with the facility first.
Ordinary calls and messages may be monitored or reviewed. Do not send sensitive case details through an unverified contact. Provider customer support: 888-506-8407. Video support: 888-646-9437.
