Justin Paperny: Hi everyone. I'm Justin Paperny with White Collar Advice, and I'm pleased to welcome my friend and colleague Michael Szafranksi to the program. Hey bud. Michael S.: Hey Justin. Justin Paperny: Let's jump right in with your experience through Miami Federal Prison Camp. You wrote a guest blog on the White Collar Advice site. I'm going to put up a link to the blog, but in that blog, you said, "Miami is different than a lot of another federal prison camps." Miami Federal Prison What did you mean? Michael S.: Well, Miami itself just outside of the world of prison sort of operates on its own set of rules. It's certainly South America within the United States. On top of that, when you get to the prison itself, you're a population that is less white collar than many of the other prison camps plus the fact that it's attached to a low security prison means a lot of inmates transition relatively early on from the low to the camp, so you have a population that's different, and as a result of that, you have different stringencies imposed on the inmates by staff. Justin Paperny: Okay, so we'll get into those stringencies in a minute. Let's first talk about how you got to the federal prison camp in Miami. The majority of my clients, our clients, self surrender to prison, but on occasion, they're remanded to custody in part because of the case or the judge. Tell us how you actually got to the federal prison camp.

I am going to share my experience and some of the experiences of my clients. So, let's get started. Dating After Federal Prison It's Justin Paperny at White Collar Advice and today we're going to talk about dating after prison. Now, I've been told by a number of really great clients my experience was easier, because I went to federal prison and I did not have children. And there's a lot of truth in that. I was 33 when I went to prison. I was single. So there is some truth to that. Incarceration is harder on your family and your loved ones and even though you're the one serving time it is harder on those that love and support you, namely your wife, your children, your husband.

Still, imprisonment can be harder on those that love and support us, including our wives. For that reason, Ro Clausen and I proudly share a video that addresses how prison wives can both prepare for and thrive through that{ first day in federal prison.} To view our private video, 10 Things You Have To Know If Your Husband Is Going To Prison

How To Improve Your Federal Prison Sentence Now If you are preparing for sentencing you will find value in this video. I discuss public speaking, volunteer work, letters, personal narratives, building a new business before federal prison and more.

I want to do this video, in part, because I received a call this morning from a defendant in North Carolina, actually not far from Wake Forest University, where I've done some speaking in the past. This defendant called after watching a video I filmed last year called 10 Ways to Get More Time in Prison and in that video I talked about if you don't accept responsibility, or disclose your substance abuse, or if you continue to spend really aggressively, if you owe restitution, if you don't engage in volunteer work, if you don't work openly with your lawyer, so I identified 10 things that I think could lead to a longer term in prison.
