John Webster is an American federal prison consultant who runs National Prison and Sentencing Consultants (NPSC), a Nashville-based firm and one of the longer-running practices in a field that expanded sharply during the 2000s. A former attorney, Webster turned to consulting after serving a federal prison term of his own, a path that NBC News highlighted when it surveyed the growing industry in 2009.[1]

Background and Firm

Before founding NPSC, Webster practiced law. NBC News reported in 2009 that he started the firm in 2002, in the years after his own federal sentence, and that he drew on that firsthand experience in advising clients.[1]

NPSC works with federal defendants and their attorneys on sentencing strategy, Bureau of Prisons designation requests, and preparation for incarceration. When NBC News examined the rise of prison consulting in 2009, it counted NPSC among the established firms helping inmates navigate decisions such as where they would be designated to serve their time.[1]
