White Collar Defendants Need a Federal Prison Consultant

White collar defendants are usually faced with the prospect of having to go to prison for the first time. They are afraid of what they will face. They want to know how to prepare themselves and their families for their ordeal.

Where will I go? What will I do when I get there? Will there be violence? How am I going to manage? Who is going to care?

Prison consultants provide the answers to these questions and so much more. A good prison consultant can prepare you and your family to navigate this process so you and your family can manage to survive the experience of federal prison. You need to come out with the fewest scars possible.

Mistakes in prison can be costly. The goal is to conduct yourself in a way that reduces the amount of time you will spend in custody. The goal is to prepare you to take advantage of the programs available that can reduce your stay in prison to an absolute minimum.

The rules in prison are strict, and violations lead to drastic consequences. An innocent comment to the wrong person may lead to loss of good time credits or worse. A gesture that is perfectly acceptable in normal life can result in punishment in prison that could involve anything from solitary confinement to a transfer to a higher security prison. These mistakes are most likely to be made at the beginning of your sentence and they can be avoided.

No one who starts a prison term for the first time feels prepared enough for the experience. Even though most white collar defendants have spent their lives knowing how to prepare themselves for the other challenges they have faced in life, they do not do enough to prepare themselves for prison. Even though most white collar defendants take care of their families, they start prison without preparing their families for this ordeal.

Yes, there are books available that provide generic advice about prison and how to prepare for prison. There are also books available that provide advice about how to exercise. Who among us would rely on an exercise book when we could use a personal trainer instead? Prison is no different. The difference between reading a generic book and having a personal trainer is just as important.

The money invested in a prison consultant is nominal when compared to the benefits. Consider the benefit of knowing that your family has someone to call who can provide answers to their questions when you are gone. Add to that the comfort of knowing what to expect when you arrive at the gate. Combine that with being prepared to avoid mistakes and knowing how to minimize your time in prison and you have a sense of the value of your investment in a federal prison consultant.

You only have one chance to prepare for this experience. This is not the time to cut corners. Too much is at stake.
