Federal Prison Guidebook-2009 Edition Now Available!

March 30, 2009 - PRLog -- There are federal prison guidebooks and then there are federal prison guidebooks! Which ones really help? Which guidebooks tell you what you really need to know about federal prison? What federal prison guidebook http://jailtimeconsulting.com/jail-time-book.php will help you transition from the world you now know to the world you are about to know—the world of the incarcerated inmate? Believe me; those two worlds are drastically different!


Many books are written about federal prison that provide generic information about prison and supposedly tell you how to prepare for it. Many of these books are written by current inmates or former federal prison inmates.  Everything from prison food recipes to horrible stories about maximum security lockdown is covered. There certainly are prison food recipes available and maximum security lockdown isn’t pleasant, but shouldn’t they offer much, much more? Some books even tell you how to exercise. If you don’t know that by now, I guess you never will.


Even more ridiculous are the books written by former prison guards. Most prison guards are not capable of writing a guidebook on federal incarceration. Ask any federal inmate, he or she will verify that. These books contain forms, stories, and lists of meaningless items.  Is that what you want in a federal prison guidebook? Most definitely not!


A good federal prison guidebook is one that is written by someone who has experienced federal prison firsthand. He should know the Bureau of Prisons’ programs, procedures, policies, and has experienced life in a federal prison. The guidebook should contain facts about federal prison, how to really prepare for the transition to prison life. It should contain chapters about the defendant’s initial investigation which led to his or her journey to prison. What the defendant should expect from the prosecutor, investigators, and the media. The process of inmate travel on Con Air, arriving at prison in handcuffs, leg shackles, and belly chain, the inmate’s boring prison schedule, the do’s and don’ts of prison existence should all be covered. It should not only cover the inmate’s time in prison but also his or her release to halfway house, supervised release, and home confinement. There are so many stipulations and conditions that must be met. Prison aftercare should also be addressed. How does the former inmate find a job? How does he regain the civil rights he lost?  How can he expunge his conviction?


An even better federal prison guidebook will be written by a federal prison consultant who has been a former white-collar inmate. He not only can write about what really goes on in prison and what the new inmate can expect, but he can also write about the recent changes in policy, new laws, and new requirements which affect entering white-collar defendants. After all, that’s his job. The federal prison guidebook should contain a large question and answer section, an inmate terms or jargon section, a glossary of definitions, and an appendix of needed forms and addresses. One such book does exist—Jail Time, What you need to know…Before you go to federal prison!


A federal prison guidebook that meets all these qualifications and criteria is available. Its author is a leading national federal prison consultant. The book is Jail Time, What you need to know…Before you go to federal prison! The federal prison consultant is Michael Frantz, http://jailtimeconsulting.com/about-mike-frantz.php. Now, both white-collar defendants and blue-collar defendants can have the best of both worlds. There are generic books on the market. But wouldn’t you rather have the one that sets the standard. The one federal prison guidebook most widely used and recognized that is available in both a paperback and an e-book edition. Too much is at stake. This is your one chance to make the right decision. Make the correct one.
