Reentry Planning You must be Your Own Best Advocate – why you need time in the community – and how you will use that time productively. ·       It starts slow and small: your License, Social security card, and birth certificate.·       It’s critical to show [and prove] an ongoing journal of what you have done and learned.·       Document your journeyo   …each of your visits with your Unit Team, Case Managers, and Counselors, all in writing:§  Their Name, Date, Topic of conversationo   …each of your FSA Risk Program Class (SPARC-13), and §  What you learned and how you could implement that into your daily life, work, or family life – also something Positive about the teacher.o   Documenting short paragraphs about the NON-FICTION books you’ve read [REGARDING CAREER INTERESTS YOU HAVE], and §  what you learned, why you chose that author, and any other Great ideas.o   Your reentry plan will continue to grow as you provide only the updates to your case manager– possibly someone offered you a job, 2 copies (for you and your case manager) If release plans are not required, then why do them - To reduce Your Time Incarcerated?·        Without a Plan, why should your Case Manager and the BOP give you a reference to a Halfway House Residential Reentry Manager (RRM) o   There are not enough halfway house beds in the country to house everyone who would like to use them.§  Halfway House Residential Reentry Manager (RRM) wants to fill those beds with people who will use those beds to successfully reenter their communities.·        DOCUMENT EVERYTHING YOU DO, - if you don’t, it didn’t happen, just like in Medicine, Law, and Insurance·        3rd) List your Support Structure after release.·        4th) Employment Opportunities?§  Will you still be allowed to run your own business, Was your business part of your criminal arrest? If Yes -> then-No.§  It is possible with a great release plan, Probation May let you work for yourself, and travel.o, Were you working for yourself before your arrest? Yes,o   If working for yourself - was this job part of your criminal activity? BUT If No, Then YES!o   What will you do–keep it separate from your criminal conviction?o    Will you need employment? R U Retired, will you Volunteer or do have to take care of a spouse or relative? After Release -> OK For Home Confinement·       It is up to our REENTRY Plan to show why Home Confinement is needed.

Self-Surrendering - What to Bring___ Wedding band, Bible, under $100.___ Prescriptions for medications (3-4 weeks recommended, at worst they are thrown out), at best they are         available for your use. When surrendering on weekends or holidays the BOP may allow these to be used           if not available from their onsite pharmacy, medical devices, and glasses (that are not made with metal).___ ID: birth certificate, passport, driver’s license, and social security card.___ Cash; $320 ($370 in November and December), then use either Money Gram or Western Union for         monthly deposits.___ Legal papers.___ List of personal names (Phone, email, address). Type on the back of a page from your court case, and put           it in an envelope labeled, ‘Legal’ to take with you when you self-surrender.___ Schedule your list of books you’d like to read, to start being sent (2 at a time) 2 days before your arrival,        lasting the majority of your pre-calculated stay.___ Don’t arrive at lunchtime.___ Do present to the higher security facility if you are expecting a satellite camp___ When driving to surrender, speeding is sometimes understood at 3mph over the limit.___ Arrive early.___ If you’re going to a satellite camp (as opposed to an FPC), expect to be put into solitary confinement – I’ve        been to both (at the same time – Not Fun for the Un Prepared) if the court’s orders are not there.___ Disappointment and Looing Faith are coming - which the Judge forgot to tell you. Stay Hubble, Keep         Advocating For Yourself, working your way Home. BEFORE SURRENDERINGTo Best Position Yourself (No Guarantees) For Release Step 1:PREPARATION: Document the Journey you’ve been through,The Investigation, Criminal charge, The Plea hearing, Trial or Guilty plea, The Presentence Interview - Investigation, The Sentencing Process,Were you prepared?The sooner you prepare, the sooner you’ll have the plan to work toward a better outcome. Although we’d like to change the past and avoid a criminal charge altogether—no one can do that. On the other hand, We Can make opportunities to influence:•          A more successful journey through your sentence.•          An earlier release date,•          A higher level of liberty upon release•          A more persuasive case for early termination of Supervised Release•          A faster pathway to a successful careerHow will you document your time? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Step 2: Establish a PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACTWho Is Your Point of Contact: _________________________________________________________________If the paperwork is not in order -, you’re off to the SHU, also known as “the hole.” The person will remain in that solitary cell until somebody fixes the problem.Ask a lawyer to confirm that the prison has proper paperwork in order.•          In normal circumstances, the point of contact should expect a phone call within 24 hours of the day the person surrenders. •          once in the general population; you can ask someone for help. Another person can ask his family member to call the contact person. There is always a way to get the message out— Step 3: Understand the FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONSBanks and brokerage houses have been known to “fire” them and close their accounts within 30 days.•          For that reason, we recommend that people create several options:•          Open accounts at multiple financial institutions.•          By opening several accounts, a person may protect himself. If one institution closes an account, the               person can transfer resources to another existing account.•          Provide Power of Attorney to trusted people that can move funds as necessary.Who is your Power of Attorney: _______________________________________________________________•          Create alternative strategies, such as owning different types of asset classes that will retain value              during the term of imprisonment, or appreciate in value during the term of imprisonment.•          Staff members may accuse a person of “running a business from prison” if they hear a person               instructing a spouse to transfer funds from one account to another account. People who do not               understand rules can face discipline can lead to loss of phone access and email access. It can result in a              loss of visiting privileges.•          To shop in the store, budget another $200 to $500 per month. Step 4: CREATE A READING LIST of NON-FICTION BOOKSThe report would answer three questions:•          Why did I read the book?•          What did I learn from reading the book?•          How will the book contribute to my success upon release?•          -serving a five-year sentence, you should have a five-year reading list before surrendering -               identify books that bring value and accelerate progress toward goals. •          Stephen King, the well-known novelist shares the story of how he became an author, and the steps              others can take to become an author. Step 5: JOURNAL WRITING IS A HABIT – DEVELOP YOURSIf a person journals, they should have the plan to publish.•          ... the journaling exercise may help a person document a strategic plan for preparing for success. By                  memorializing the incremental progress, the person may advance possibilities of persuading a judge                 why the person stands worthy of compassionate release. Step 6: PREPARE PERSONAL BELONGINGS•          If a person needs reading glasses, bring two pairs •          Staff may authorize a religious necklace or wedding ring not worth more than $100. •          No checks, cell phones, or credit cards. Step 7: Understand Medical Preparations...the story of one person who prepared well. He knew that he would be serving a five-year sentence. •          Knowing that he wanted to recalibrate his life while serving the sentence, he set a goal of getting a knee replacement. The cost of the surgery would have been prohibitive to him before he surrendered—as he had lost everything as a result of the conviction.•          Before surrendering, he got his doctor to write a letter memorializing the necessity of knee-replacement surgery. He created a plan that allowed him to serve his sentence in a medical facility. He launched a coordinated campaign to persuade the doctors at the prison to schedule him for a knee replacement.•          Providing your attorney with a comprehensive medical background as well as expecting them to know                whether or not your medications are available before your Presentence Interview cannot be              overstated. Because if it is not included in your Presentence Report, you will have a hard time              convincing the BOP to provide that care.Are your medical records complete and prepared for your interview? Yes ____, No _____ Step 8: YOUR PERSONAL COMMUNICATION – ALL PERSONS MUST ADHERE TO SPECIFIC PROCEDURESThe Basics. Administrators will authorize most people in prison to communicate with people beyond prison boundaries in one of a few ways:§  Send and receive letters through the regular postal service, §  Use a modified telephone system, §  Understand the modified email system,  Coordinate visits with people—provided the person and the visitor adhere to specific procedures.You may want to type out a sheet of paper that includes the following information for all the people on your contact list:§  Name§  Mailing Address§  Phone Number§  Email addresso   A day or two before surrendering, the person should print out the page and send it in the regular mail to himself, at the prison’s address. The person will also want to bring the paper with him when he surrenders, typed on the back of legal work from your case – in an envelope labeled: Legal. •          Prior to surrendering to prison, the person should help all people on the contact list understand the              rules of the system, available from the prison’s online Admissions and Orientation booklet.•          Although rules vary from time to time, administrators will limit access to each of the communication              channels—§  email, §  phone, and §  visits, limits may apply. Step 9: Create Your Quadrant Guide for Decision MakingQuadrant Theory Steven Covey•          Good quadrants will help us engineer whether our adjustment decisions fall into the category of:•          First Quadrant: Make decisions that offer a high prospect for success, with low levels of risk•          Second Quadrant: Be cautious of decisions that offer a high prospect for success, with high levels of risk•          Third Quadrant: Avoid decisions that offer a low prospect for success, with high levels of risk•          Fourth Quadrant: Don’t make decisions that offer a low prospect for success, with low levels of risk Step 10:  Your Release/Reentry Plan – Part I, FOR THOSE WITH LONGER SENTENCES…we encourage people to prepare a solid release plan long before they go to prison but anytime is OK.•          Circumstances forced me to contemplate the many challenges I would face ahead.•          In what ways would serve multiple decades in prison complicate my future?•          How would the prison system influence the way I communicated?•          What would prospective employers think when I returned to society?•          How would the world change while I served the sentence?•          In what ways could I prepare myself to adjust if I didn’t understand the way the world would change?•          Where would I get resources to start my life?•          How much money would I need to settle in society after I got out?•          What complications would a probation officer put on me when I got out?•          What could I do to advance my levels of liberty, at the soonest possible time?•          In what ways could I leverage the experience I would gain inside to bring value to others?•          What questions can you start asking now to engineer your release plan?•          The sooner a person begins thinking about a release plan, the sooner that person will craft a pathway               to restoring confidence.  Step 10:  Your Release/Reentry Plan – Part I & II In what ways will Stakeholders see you as different from the expectations of the other people they have encountered in the system?Your STAKEHOLDERS, those responsible for your future, (but who or what are STAKEHOLDERS?)·       Your Defense Attorney – they know nothing about your past at this point.·       Probation Officer – they are responsible for writing your Presentence Report and recommending your sentence to the Judge. All they know is what the DOJ has released to the press and the prosecutor has told them. Is That an Important Enough Reason?·       The Prosecutor – their job is to get the judge to convict.·       Your Judge must take all this in   Only One Meeting with You. But they have years of experience in meeting defendants just like you who are looking for leniency.o   Those years of experience allow them to know the truth when they hear it, as well as BS…o   Your Narrative opened their curiosity to speak with you, and your Allocution may cause the judge to change a previously considered sentence.·       Your BOP Case Manager and Unit Team – will determine how smooth a transition you will have, getting into FSA Programming, and out of the BOP and into RRC or Halfway Houses, Home Confinement, and 2nd Chance Act. The Stakeholder’s perception of us; this is just the first time we got caught, but we’ve been at it a long time, a whether or not we are a great father-spouse-or volunteer…·       THAT’S WHY YOU NEED TO DOCUMENT / SHOW/ THEM Via Your REENTRY Plan Your:o   Your Goals, this is what I plan to do, what I am learning from programming and reading – PRIOR TO YOUR SURRENDERo   The plan will develop in prison as you UPDATE it with §  Book Reports from books read (all Non-Fiction, some specific to your new venture), and §  Lessons Learned from Programs, Memorialized through your daily journal notes.·       Even if you’re wealthy – you still want to get out and home fast and these are THEIR Pathwayso   I don’t have to work when I get home.o   Why do I have to document my journey?o   Why do I have to think about these things?§  Do you like to travel – well Nope.§  Do you want FSA Early Release – Nope§  How can you get your way with the BOP & your PO if you feel it is beneath you to be humble and participate – you could even offer to teach a classo   REMEMBER YOUR GOING TO PRISON – IT WILL BE HARDER ON YOUR LOVED ONES§  6 MONTHS WILL FEEL LIKE 6 YRS, AND YOU’LL WANT OUT, or§  You’ll think that the FSA gets you out early – but if you’re not documenting the journey… it won’t happen, plus no Halfway House.§  This, is due to YOU not being prepared and believing that there WILL BE DISCOMFORT An interview with Jon Gustin, retired Administrator of the Residential Reentry Management Branch, overseeing all halfway houses and home confinement programs across the country.The release plan is so important" especially if a Lawyer has a client who is a CEO AND DOESN’T NEED A REENTRY/RELEASE PLAN AS IT IS “BENEATH THEM”. The system requires a ·       little humility, ·       we all have our faults, and ·       we can all better ourselves, ·       whether through classes, write a book – after a bit, put together a class to teach.  ·       why do they need to offer you time in a halfway house or home confinement,·        those limited beds are for those who need to get established back into their communities,·       Your Narrative addresses your STAKEHOLDERS, those responsible for your future, (but who or what are STAKEHOLDERS?)o   Probation Officer – they are responsible for writing your Presentence Report and recommending your sentence to the Judge. All they know is what the DOJ has released to the press and the prosecutor has told them. Is That An Important Enough Reasono   Your BOP Case Manager and Unit Team – will determine how smooth a transition you will have, getting into FSA Programming, and out of the BOP and into RRC or Halfway Houses, Home Confinement, and 2nd Chance Act.o   FOR EACH STAKEHOLDER, ASK YOURSELF:1.     WHAT DO AND DON’T THEY KNOW ABOUT YOU?2.     DID THEY KNOW WHY YOU COMMITTED YOUR CRIME?3.     WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT YOUR MOTIVATION OR INVOLVEMENT IN YOUR CRIME?4.     WHAT CAN YOU DO TO CHANGE THEIR PRECONCEIVED BIASES, ABOUT WHAT YOU DID? You’re now on your way as you continue to learn from Non-Fiction Mentors
