You do such a great job sharing these tips. I hope you and your family are doing well. Maybe if I ever meet anyone who might be going into federal prison I should tell them about you and your partners.
Thanks for the quick tips and short videos. I am like a little kid with an attention short fuse. Always busy and getting diverted pausing longer video lessons. These quick lessons stick. Thanks
I have to partially disagree with you saying not to talk with staff. I worked at a federal prison. Staff can help you get jobs in the prison . They can talk to your counselor and put in a good word for you. Most staff know the manipulators , thiefs, and con artists of the system. I was strict with those individuals. I also had regular cooperative inmates that I would talk to that were just there doing time and trying to adjust or looking forward to getting out. They knew the rules and were smart enough not to go against them. I tried to help those inmates all I could by talking to their caseworkers and counselors, leaving messages, writing memos for them when I had time. I know I'm looking at this from a staff point of view but not all staff are there to make people miserable which is a big misconception.
my hubby did some time in Terminal Island in California he went through HELL AND BACK and I know that it was because he is Dominican. He came out last year I suffered alot along with him. He's told me Horror stories. Very informative your videos. New Subby here!
Lissette, thanks for your note and for watching my videos. I am really pleased to read prison is in the past for your husband, and you. I have no doubt you suffered as much as him. It really can be harder on families. I send my best to all of you! Thanks again for writing. Happy Holidays, Justin
Hello, if you are sentenced to 37 months or more, and complete RDAP, you get 12 months off your sentence. All federal prisoners sentenced to 12 months are more are technically eligible for 12 months in the halfway house. If you complete RDAP you will most likely get 6 months in the halfway; the possibility exists to get up to 1 year, however. Hence, 18-24 months.
It depends on a number of factors, including who catches you, how were you caught, what is being gambled. Generally speaking if a guard catches you gambling you could expect a disciplinary infraction aka shot.
Running sports tickets are a big thing in the Feds, especially during football season. Who fets in trouble depends on the wardens and their staff. When I was at FCI Herlong, the staff told us they weren't tripping on the exchanging of tickets and stamps on the yard...just don't disrespect them abd be wide open about it. When the heat goes down at a particular joint, they usually go after the bookies. A LOT of $$ changes hands. You'd be shocked!
did 10yr in the fed system, gambling wasnt a big issue in any of the places i did time, unless ofcorse you do it out in the open or someone gets hurt for "lets say.....gambling with money you dont have and losing" if you gamble YOU BETTER HAVE THE MONEY ON YOUR BOOKS TO COVER YOUR LOSS!!!!! " thats the biggest issue with gambling in the joint , these guys your locked up with are not there because they are the most trust worthy guys ok, so some guys will play poker and be broke, very bad way to get hurt
Can tell me if I haven't heard from my son for three in federal camp prison because he's in segregation is there something I can do they tell me how long he will be there
White collar crime you certainly make your money for the time you do especially over in the UK wish I was white collar got any ideas for a poor white man? As far as doing time you really are white collar but you talk sense.
This dude is really something boy. He really pounds hard at his silly little buzz words and phrases.. he loves to repeat things over and over. Like prove your worthy of the love and support of your family and friends. That stuff. He just pounds on it hard. It gets old fast.

what happens if you are caught gambling in federal prison?
It depends on a number of factors, including who catches you, how were you caught, what is being gambled. Generally speaking if a guard catches you gambling you could expect a disciplinary infraction aka shot.
