Have You Been Convicted of a Federal crime? Are You Going To a Federal Prison?


I can Help you Prepare, Cope, and Survive.


Normal society rules that you live by in the outside world simply don't apply any longer. When you're in prison, you're living in a different world where all that matters to you is surviving.

While no two prisons are exactly the same, or if you are a man or woman, the day-to-day life of their inmates is quite similar. I can help you to better understand just what you will be facing.


People buy guidebooks and pay prison consultants for one thing, to teach them how to stay safe by avoiding the violence and sexual assaults that can occur in prison. That is by far the most important thing but there is much more to learn. We don't specialize in sentence reduction or placement strategies. We specialize in teaching you how to be an inmate.


You will learn what and what not to do in order to stay safe, do your time as stress-free as possible, improve yourself, and get back home to your family.

Our only goal is to help individuals, who will soon be first time inmates, AND their families to get prepared for prison by starting the mental adjustments that will be needed. This will also include starting the positive thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that some good will come out of this.  You will be coming home and your life will move forward. We won't try to scare or embarrass you. We both know that you are already scared enough and that this whole ordeal has been embarrassing. 


You will get through this. You will be released and there is still a lot of living to do. You will apply yourself inside and make the time work for you. Improving yourself physically and educationally will be your main goal. Apply yourself while you are in prison. You will walk out of there stronger, smarter, wiser and a 100% better person. I know I did. I can honestly say that my life is better now than when I went in because I did those things that I'm telling you to do. Thousands of inmates get released from prison each year and over 70% of them go back. Why? Because they got lazy and did nothing to improve themselves.


I have been in your shoes and I understand just how hard it is to walk into a federal prison a for the first time feeling scared and without being prepared. I spent 6 months in a low security Federal Prison. I learned how to survive. I made friends, and I learned how to better myself while I was there. I can teach you to do the same.


Your attorney knows a lot but he/she, like the majority of other prison consultants out there, has never been to prison. I have. Let me help you by teaching you and answering your questions about what your life in federal prison will be like.



Learn What And What Not To Do:

Make no mistake, going to a federal prison for the first time will be difficult. First time inmates usually have problems with the prison staff and other inmates because they don't know anything about prison life. They make mistakes because they just don't know what to do. They are not prepared. If you will soon be heading to Federal prison it would be in your best interest to learn as much as possible about being an inmate before you get there. Once you walk through that gate you enter a world that has it's own set of rules that you will have to live by. 


We tell you how to avoid making the common mistakes that most first time inmates make, which will attract unwanted attention and will often lead to problems with other inmates and the prison staff. For example:

Did you know that inmates in federal prisons and federal prison camps consider it to be very bad manners for you to look into their cells, or cubes, as you walk past? By not knowing this one basic inmate rule, it could lead you into a physical confrontation with another inmate on your very first day inside. Always look straight ahead when walking past other inmate's houses.

Did you also know that when you call home using a prison's telephone that it's a violation of prison policy for someone else at your home, like your kids, to pick up an extension line and join in on the conversation? You could lose your telephone privileges for six months.
