How To Prepare White Collar Defendants For Life In Federal Prison

Last week, while I was working in Dallas, I accepted an invitation to contribute to a live show hosted by Cheddar. To be 100% honest, I was not familiar with Cheddar before accepting their invitation. After reviewing their work, however, I became impressed with the content they produce. I welcomed the chance to contribute.

As I understand it, one of their producers saw one of my recent interviews on Fox News and they read an article about me in People Magazine.

Cheddar told me they wanted to discuss a number of topics regarding how White Collar Advice prepares defendants for sentencing and federal prison. They also wanted to discuss life after federal prison.

Knowing I had just six minutes on live television, I wanted to be direct with my answers. I also wanted to convey thoughts that I know are different than most people expect to hear. For example, people presume imprisonment is hardest on the prisoner. They would be wrong. My experience as a former prisoner and federal prison consultant has taught me imprisonment is harder on those that love and support them. Prisoners should embrace that reality and plan accordingly.

I am frequently asked, "so, what is the best advice you can give to a white collar defendant?" In fact, as I write this description, I am on a plan to lecture at Georgetown Law School. Before boarding the plane, I received a call from someone in the media. Their question: yup you guessed it! They asked, "what is the best advice you can give to a white collar defendant who will serve federal prison time?"

My answer remains the same. White collar defendants who serve federal prison time must maintain perspective. I am not dismissing a federal prison sentence. I know that it is hard--regardless of the sentence. But I also know people have endured worse. Most of the prisoners white collar defendants will serve time with have endured worse.

Rather than lament over all that is being lost, it is important to focus on what remains. Finding that perspective can help on days we would rather be anyone else than federal prison.

With good time, First Step Act, halfway house, home confinement and possible admittance into the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), prisoners will serve shorter sentences than ever before. For that reason, once we find a perspective, you must prepare for your inevitable release. It is coming so it is essential you are ready.

I can assure you the journey will be easier with a network that supports you. For that reason, maintain and nurture ties while in federal prison. Write letters, use email and use your visitation time wisely. You do not want to come home and start from scratch.

When I was in federal prison, I served time with Michael Santos. Michael had been in prison for 22 years when we met at Taft Federal Prison Camp. I noticed that Michael had his routine of writing letters to people he knew and people he did not know. It was all part of his plan to prepare for his release. I encourage you to learn from Michael Santos, as I did. Take action and use each day in federal prison wisely.

I hope you find value in this video Cheddar called, How To Prepare Defendants for life in Federal Prison.

Thank you,
Justin
