Have the case number (also called the docket number), the judgment — the court's final order that states the sentence — the presentence report (PSR) if you have a copy, any sentencing memorandum already filed, and any hearing date or deadline. If you're in Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody, don't have a PSR or Statement of Reasons mailed in. The BOP doesn't let people serving a sentence keep copies. Ask your unit team how to review them. If you or someone you love is in prison and has health problems, BOP medical records help too. If you are not sure what applies, that is fine; that is what the hour is for.
Until then, if you or someone you love is in prison, don't discuss the case on regular prison phones or prison email. Those calls and messages are recorded.
