    Your 1st thought maybe trial, but the feds have a 98% conviction rate – plus if you lose their payback is a LONGER Prison Term – if you are paying, that $100, 000++, if it’s a federal defender, that is between you two

    SENTENCING AND PLACEMENT 
    1. The Statement of Reasons (SOR), The Judges Reasons for Departure or Their Sentence 
     2. The Presentence Report (PSR),
    It was developed as you prepared for the Presentence Interview (PSI),·        includes your Personal Narrative and all of your biographical information.·        written by your Probation Officer representing the court.                                3. At Sentencing·        The fruits of the 1st part of your hard work.·        Your NARRATIVE has been inserted into Your Presentence Report·        Before your hearing, your Narrative was read by your Judge.·        This prompted your Allocution with the Judge – which you ‘were’ prepared for.·        The result: possibly a Departure from the Guidelines. At this point,·        Your attorney now requests placement in a facility that has “programs” that would meet your needs, for example, RDAP. The judge could agree.
    • This is the time for your attorney to make a request for just ‘1’ BOP Facility that meets your needs, and again the Judge may agree.
    • Finally, “your honor, if it is ok with the court, (1st) if the BOP cannot make that placement, would it be possible for them, (2nd) to write the court as to why they were unable to do so, your honor?” And thank you. 4. The BOP determines the Caveat, how and where you are finally placed – This Is Their Domain.• Bed availability,
     • Faith-based needs,
     • Security designation,
     • Programmatic (FSA) needs,
     • Mental and medical health needs,
     • Recommendations of the sentencing court (They do make a conscious effort (75%) to do this),
     • Other security concerns of the Bureau of Prisons,
     • Placing the inmate in a facility as close as practicable to their primary residence, and to the extent practicable, within 500 driving miles of that residence. /

    RESTITUTION - Be Prepared Should The DOJ and BOP agree To Remove 75% of Your Commissary Funds
    While the program is voluntary, you will be restricted from getting credits under the First Step Act for early release from prison, into community facilities if you refuse.    Why the DOJ has faced increased scrutiny after several high-profile inmates had kept large sums of money of more than $100,000 in their accounts while dodging some of their ordered debts like restitution.  The Bureau of Prisons has said about .01% of inmates carry more than $100,000 in their accounts   This is why we recommend ‘proactively’ offering to your Case Manager, your willingness  to participate in BOP The Financial Responsibility Program   Also, should you have Restitution, 1st) Offering to Participation in your FRP at your first or second meeting with your Case Manager will go a long way to creating goodwill, and 2nd) carrying less than ~ $5K/ month, could be a prudent thing to consider.
