Hello, and thank you for tuning into my Video series, INDICTED AND FACING PRISON: NOW WHAT?
My name is Marc Blatstein, and to call this a life-altering event, at best, is an understatement. With work, I was able to get my license reinstated.
Eventually - Prison is Temporary.
My goal in this series is to provide you with the information you’ll need to survive and navigate these times because Knowledge and Preparation will help you regain the Confidence you’ll need throughout this process.
• Hiring a legal team doesn’t just mean that they have experience; they also need a proven track record of successfully defending cases like yours.
• The choices you make today - will make a better tomorrow.
Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to call and consider engaging my services at 240.888.7778—this is your life. The Release Plan I’ve divided into ‘6’ Parts:
Part I)
Starting before your Presentence Interview (and is provided along with your Narrative to be woven into your Presentence Report), you’ve had time to think. You've been,
• Humbled
• Embarrassed
• Regrets that I did – what I did
Part II)
Before your Sentence Hearing (building and after giving more thought to your 1st Release Plan),
• Humbled
• Embarrassed
• Regrets that I did – what I did
• Allocution
Being Nervous is Normal, so prepare your thoughts where they can be pre-written, or in video format.
Part III)
Once inside, here is where it grows – mostly by documenting your Personal Developmental Growth, which includes
• Written reviews (complimentary) of what you've learned from that FSA Program and
• Other constructive things you have been working on in areas of interest to you, including
o Mentoring others or possibly teaching classes.
o Learning a Trade or Occupation that requires training (ie., CDL at Pensacola FPC or at FCC Yazoo City.)
o Personal Growth and Development include Education, whether a GED, Undergraduate or Master’s Degree, and even working towards higher education (maybe a Law degree) if that is where your interest lies
o Do you paint, draw, or write? As long as it’s Constructive - Do something, this could possibly lead to a career.
If you are a CEO, COO, business owner, doctor, or Lawyer and you have been successful, consider teaching a class.
• If you already have a possible job lined up for after release, email, call, or write them to see if it is still available.
Part IV)
Before Release, detail what you will be doing once released.
• You can start by following the example forms developed by Rikers Island, the MN Dept. of Corrections—The National Institute of Corrections Manual, or the Release Plan Prep Guide on my website.
• All of this will, or should (as nothing is Guaranteed), make you appear a better candidate for a Halfway House.
• The beds are limited, and Residential Reentry Managers want to fill these beds with people who will reenter society successfully. Is this You?
• Planning ahead can reduce anxiety and help to facilitate a smoother transition home.
Recommendations from your Case Manager to the Halfway House's Residential Reentry Managers (RRM) that include your Release Plan and could include their support go a long way. But again, nothing is Guaranteed.
What is guaranteed is that RRM are employees, too, and don't want on their record to have had to send someone back to prison due to an infraction. Therefore, they are looking at BOP files to see who is the best candidate for the limited number of beds. You want to be that person.
If you're already at this point, and don’t have the time to wait for my future videos, then give me a call and we can discuss your situation, one-on-one. Once again, my number is 240.888.7778.
