$20,000 a Pop for a Federal Prison Consultant? Now you have a better choice!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 5, 2009 -- A recent article in USA Today discussed the new niche industry of Federal Prison Consulting. Wealthy first-time white collar offenders are paying up to $20,000 a pop to Federal Prison Consultants or Prison Coaches. Can't afford the high price ticket? Don't worry, just do your research and choose a consultant you believe in. He doesn't have to be expensive-he just has to be good!

White-collar criminals require information and assistance on how to prepare for life in a federal prison, how to survive in a federal prison, and most important of all, how to use federal prison programs to reduce the length of the sentence received on judgment day! More and more famous or infamous white-collar defendants are facing federal or state incarceration. First it was television celebrities such as Martha Stewart , then big company officials such as Jeffrey Skilling and Andrew Fastow of Enron. Financial ponzi manipulators like Bernard Madoff and Sir Allen Stanford followed the lead siphoning off millions and millions of dollars from ill-advised investors. Now even well known sports celebrities such as Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress have gotten into the act and are using federal prison consultants to help them in their transition from life on the outside to life on the inside. Believe me, it is a major transition!

Recently, Plaxico Burress was sentenced to two years in prison commencing with an evaluation at Riker’s Island Correctional Facility in New York. He was unceremoniously received at Rikers by his fellow inmates upon his arrival. He was greeted with wild hollering, sneering, and taunting after completing the intake process right before he was about to be placed in general population. The intake process was dehumanizing enough; a complete strip search, fingerprints, inmate mugshot, and a change from a $4,000.00 business suit into a $4.00 set of inmate clothing. He now looks forward to three hours of recreation a day, three showers a week, one visit per week-end, and the taunting jeers of other inmates who see Plaxico as a man who had everything and they have nothing. Plaxico immediately requested and received solitary confinement. He now spends all his time in a six foot by eight foot concrete cage, alone.

“Prison isn’t easy, but it can be manageable”, says Michael Frantz , a federal prison consultant, “if you have the proper knowledge, resources, and motivation. You need the knowledge to select a federal prison consultant with experience and wisdom. You need the many resources of the consultant including his knowledge, contacts, and expertise. You need the motivation to survive federal prison and to get back home as soon as you can.”

“The best news”, says Rande Frantz , “it doesn’t have to cost $20,000.” Frantz offers a free consultation and services start as low as $295.00. It’s the best advice, help, and support that a defendant can get. A complete package including—

• preparing the defendant for federal prison via the How to Survive Federal Prison! preparation course;
• assisting in facility designation to choose the appropriate facility for the defendant;
• providing documentation and assistance in four (4) very important judicial recommendations to the client’s attorney;
• preparing the client for the all important Pre-Sentencing Investigation Interview (PSI );

• positioning the defendant for all Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) programs including a program that may reduce the inmate’s incarceration in a federal prison by up to eighteen (18) months;
• providing 24-hour, 7-day a week support, comfort, and access for the defendant’s family;
• providing free assistance to the inmate his entire period of incarceration including services such as furlough preparation, transfer assistance, administrative remedy appeals, assistance with restitution issues, job placement, Compassionate Release applications, Commutation of Sentence applications, and many, many others;

-costs about one-third of the $20,000 price tag cited in the USA Today article. “This is a comprehensive program that literally includes everything. It doesn’t have to be expensive, it just has to work!” says Frantz.

Michael Frantz states it is best for a defendant to secure the help of a federal prison consultant early in his/her case before entering a plea agreement and before the all important Pre-Sentencing Investigation Interview and Report (PSI/PSR).

The most knowledgeable federal prison consultant is one who has experienced prison firsthand and knows the programs, procedures, policies, as well as the daily ins and outs of prison life. This federal prison consultant can provide the best services and direction to the arriving inmate.

Yet not all those individuals who have been to prison make good federal prison consultants. An exceptional federal prison consultant is dedicated, resourceful, educated on prison life, and tells it like it really is. The consultant will help the client prepare for federal prison, tell the client what to expect in federal prison, and inform the client on how to make the most out of his stay in federal prison. This type of a consultant won’t scare or intimidate the defendant into becoming a client.

On the other hand he will not sugar coat the client’s upcoming stay in federal prison either. He just tells it like it really is. "Of course differences do apply", Frantz said, "A defendant headed for a maximum security United States Penitentiary (USP) requires a different preparation than a defendant designated to a minimum security federal prison camp. A good consultant will prepare the defendant for where he is going, not for where he is not going."

The consultant should also have an abundance of tools at his disposable. A good federal prison consultant should have tools available to prepare the client for federal incarceration such as the seven component “How to Survive Federal Prison” course© . He should have an informational website with an abundance of free information. He should have a prison primer such as the highly acclaimed prison preparation book, “Jail Time, What you need to know…Before going to federal prison! ©” . He needs a variety of informational articles on all aspects of daily prison life such as JT Special Reports© . He needs a company with associates who counsel, educate, and support not only the incoming defendant but also his/her family as well. These tools are not only necessary but essential in completing the preparation, positioning, and education for the newly arriving inmate.

The federal government currently has a 97% guilty plea rate in federal criminal cases. Federal prosecutors have over a 75% conviction rate following trial, and 91% of federal criminal defendants receive a prison sentence. It's no longer a question of will I go to federal prison, it's a question of which one will I go to and how long will I be there. "You don’t have to pay $20,000 for a federal prison consultant, says Frantz, you simply have to do your research and choose the one who works best with you.
