Top Ten Questions for a Prison Consultant
My name's Larry Levine, and I'm a former federal inmate and the Director and Founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants. Every day I get calls from scared people sentenced to federal prison looking for some hard no bullshit advice, with the latest being some people caught up in the Robert Mueller Russian collusion probe.
The first thing I tell them is to forget about Orange is the New Black, Oz, and all the rest; and that I'm going to do some "Damage Control" by schooling them on surviving and thriving inside the Federal slam by teaching them not just what should happen.....but what really happens!
My knowledge is based on fact and the experiences I endured in 11 different federal prisons while serving a 10 year Sentence for Narcotics Trafficking, Securities Fraud, Racketeering, Obstruction of Justice and Machine Guns.
Prisons are dangerous places and breeding grounds of lies, deceit and violence. While some inmates believe they can rely on prison staff for guidance, they soon learn that the lazy prison staff would rather not be bothered, and only do the minimum when it comes to helping inmates deal with problems and issues, basically leaving them on their own to figure things out.
Most people going to prison often become confused listening to family members and others opinions about what'll happen to them. While others may have opinions, they're not typically qualified opinions! Once sentenced, it's the defendant's freedom and safety at stake, with everyone else's well-meaning opinions being worthless!
When going to prison, knowledge is the key, and utilizing a prison consultant with several years of custody experience along facts, instead of uninformed viewpoints, can be the difference between early release and spending unnecessary time in custody.
These are the TOP TEN Questions I get Asked!
- How can I get out early?
- Does Club Fed really exist?
- Can I have conjugal visits?
- What kind of job will I have?
- Will I have to join a gang?
- Are Guards really assholes?
- How can I get a furlough?
- Will I have to fight anyone?
- Will I be locked in a cell all day?
- Will I be raped?
