White-Collar Defense: The FBI Has Targeted You - Now What Do You Do?

The Constitution says everyone is entitled to equal protection of the law – even at the hands of law enforcement.·       Over the decades, judges have expanded legal doctrine to protect law enforcement.·       The resulting doctrine, called “Qualified Immunity,” has not just evolved but morphed into Absolute Immunity,·       This has left judges with few viable options and the need for change.

This story starts with a man (Jamison) driving his Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class convertible, which he had purchased 13 days before from a car dealer in Pennsylvania to his home in South Carolina. The journey takes him through Mississippi.

Jamison didn’t,·       look like a “suspicious person·       make an “improper lane change.

Further, Jamison wasn’t·       suspected of passing counterfeit $20 bills·       mentally ill and in need of help.·       driving over the speed limit.No, Jamison was a Black man driving his new Mercedes convertible. His mistake was being black and in the wrong place at the wrong time.

From Officer McClendon’s testimony.Officer McClendon says he stopped Jamison because the temporary tag on his car was “folded over to where [he] couldn’t see it.” ·       It must have been held with only two bolts, but it had four.

Officer McClendon asked Jamison for “his license, insurance, [and] the paperwork on the vehicle because it didn’t have a tag.”·       Jamison provided his bill of sale, insurance, and South Carolina driver’s license.

Officer McClendon's background check using the El Paso Intelligence Center (“EPIC”), the National Criminal Information Center (“NCIC”), Jamison's criminal history, and the VIN on his car all came back Clear.·       But he never told Jamison.

Next comes inconsistencies and intimidation from the officer.McClendon asks Jamison if he could search his car. Jamison asked him, “For what?”·       “to search for illegal narcotics, weapons, large amounts of money, anything illegal.”

First Request to Search.·       ...the officer changes the conversation to: what kind of work do you do? I’m a welder.Second Request.·       ...he had received a phone call reporting that there were 10 kilos of cocaine in Jamison’s car.·       Jamison said No.Third, Forth Request to Search.·       Officer: “Come on, man. Let me search your car.”Fifth Request to Search.·       “I got the phone call [about] 10 kilos of cocaine.” McClendon continued to bring up,1.       “the 10 kilos of cocaine,”2.        asserted that the car was stolen,3. …and asked how many vehicles he owned, and he claimed that Jamison did not have insurance on the car.

Jamison finally gave up. “As long as I can see what you’re doing, you can search the vehicle.” ·      McClendon searched“from the engine compartment to the trunk to underneath the engine to the back seats to anywhere inside the vehicle.” · In his deposition, he did not find “anything,” and· The search dog did not find “anything.

In total, the stop lasted One hour and 50 minutes.

Another reason why a well-written Personal Narrative could influence your probation officer.·      Before Supervised Release, your Probation Officer (PO) will have inspected your future home and reviewed your BOP file, which includes your Presentence Report (PSR).·      If you have not written a narrative, all they will read is Your INDICTMENT – which isn’t that flattering.·      But with your NARRATIVE written and weaved into your PSR (and attached), your PO may have a slightly better view of who you (as a person) are.·      Remember they have a large caseload, and you are one of many persons they supervise. Make it easier for them to judge who you are.·      For most, you could be under supervision for several years.·      It would be much easier for all if your PO read a file from the BOP that included your Personal Narrative, which you wrote.·      This officer will review your PSR (Presentence Report) beforehand and come to a preconceived notion of who you are.·      This is one more reason why having your NARRATIVE and Release Plan embedded and attached to your Presentence Report (PSR) is helpful to ensure a successful supervised release.·      This is one more reason to know who your stakeholders are, how they view you, and their expectations.

Probation officers are essential to your transition back into society during supervised release.·      If you own your own business and want to be self-employed, you can be if your job or company was not involved in your Charge.·        But you may not be allowed to be the boss until you are off supervised release. Instead, whoever has been running the business can hire you at a ‘normal wage’ and earn the confidence of the PO that they will be available onsite or by phone as needed. You will be available onsite during your shift for unscheduled visits.·        Some of your short-term responsibilities include being available should they call or stop by any time.·      In the long term, you must stay out of trouble, you may be drug tested regularly, you must not have firearms, and you must complete a financial form monthly.

The Residential Reentry Managers (RRMs) have a limited number of beds available nationwide, which means that while mandatory, they are highly selective when it comes to accepting new inmates into their facilities and, in turn, home confinement programs, as they are also responsible for supervising those individuals.·      This is because they want to avoid any issues that may result in sending inmates back to prison (which makes them look bad to Their Supervisors). Therefore, they rely on recommendations from BOP Case Managers to determine a person’s (inmate's) suitability for placement.·      Engage in constructive activities and develop a well-thought-out release plan.·      Earn your GED and start taking college courses if applicable.·      This is your time to start exploring any interests you may have by reading nonfiction subjects (philosophy, history…, etc.) or painting if that is your passion. Just find something, and it will begin to take your mind away (a bit) from prison—as this is temporary, you will be released.·      If you've been through college or grad school (doctor, lawyer, PhD, etc...) or have business or life experience, offer to teach a class and give credit to the Case Managers.·      Remember that RRM and BOP Case Managers are employees responsible to their supervisors. Everything we do makes them look good or bad, so no promises here; keep moving forward.

The BOP is opening Day Reporting Centers Nationwide, where you are on home confinement (as these have no beds).·      They consider factors such as your risk level, progress while incarcerated, and ability to comply with the program's rules and regulations.·      By developing a solid release plan and demonstrating your commitment to your post-release goals, you can increase your chances of being accepted into a halfway house or home confinement program and successfully reintegrating into society.

US DISTRICT COURT GRANTS COMPASSIONATE RELEASE - TO 'TIME SERVED'

The Initial Guidelines ranged from 352 to 425 months, and they were ultimately sentenced to 292 months. Prison can be temporary—that's up to you.I’m Dr. Marc Blatstein. I spent time in Federal Prison, and now I’m here to help you on your journey. After the video, for more, check out PPSRUS.com.

The Court Found,

“Non-retroactive changes in sentencing law may constitute extraordinary and compelling reasons warranting compassionate release when other factors, such as ·       the defendant’s rehabilitation, are also present.” Accordingly, the district·       the court found that the non-retroactive changes in the law may favor compassionate release. The district court weighed the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and found that granting Jean’s motion was consistent with these factors. Accordingly, the district court granted Jean’s §3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion, and Jean was subsequently resentenced to time-served,

 

 My Comment.

There can be life after prison if you put in the effort.

Comprehensive Presentence Interview Preparation, from the heart.

1. His Presentence Investigation Report explained that he “is truly sorry for putting himself, the court, and his family through this, and this will never happen again. He said he has been thinking about how he got into this situation, his thinking patterns, and what he can do differently in the future, including choices regarding his associates.”

 

Education and Bettering yourself in prison.

2. BOP Case Manager wrote:

·     "I have over 20 years of experience within the BOP, and very rarely have I come across an inmate who has truly worked on himself from the day of his admittance in the custody of the BOP. It's rare to see someone genuinely bettering themselves for a successful return to society."

·     ..." A valuable, trustworthy, and indispensable asset - a true testament of an individual who has not only educated himself but also many of his peers as he prepares for re-entry back into society."

 

The court ruled that there is no clear basis in the statute to categorically prevent district courts from considering non-retroactive changes in the law as a factor in compassionate release decisions. Appellate precedent and 1B1.13 do not prohibit the inclusion of such factors in the compassionate release calculation.

This 2013 BOP Memo was written five years before the First Step Act.

Still, in 2024, there is no calculator to assist case managers in moving men and women out of institutions sooner. Forbes: 7/18/2024 Walter Pavlo

In a June 24, 2010, memorandum, "Revised Guidance for Residential Reentry Center Placements," and an April 14, 2008, memorandum, "Pre-Release Residential Reentry Center Placements following the Second Chance Act of 2007."

The two home confinement options they endorsed.

1) Placement under the supervision of an RRC in aa HH or HC, or2) Placed under the Federal Location Monitoring (FLM) program operated by U. S. Probation, where available.3) Both are cheaper than keeping AIC incarcerated when they could be released with some beginning to make restitution payments.

**This is a perfect example of why the personal narrative and an ever-growing release plan with a history of spending one's time in constructive activities could smooth out the process and get you that case manager's HH or HC recommendation for the RRM.

The Caveat is that when dealing with the BOP or the courts, unfortunately, there are No Promises or Guarantees.

BOP's new video was released to clarify the rules under which First Step Act credits are earned and applied.

The Disconnect.

Case managers on the front lines of implementing this law are encountering problems because of their understanding and interpretation of the law and halfway house capacity issues.

Jeremy Cooper, NCRO Correctional Programs Administrator. 

You can "stack" the 2nd Chance ACT HC and then add your FTCs toward it, BUT THAT's NOT HAPPENING.

Why?

Case Managers don't have a Current Projected Release Date (PRD) or a calculator to see anyone's real-time transition date to halfway house,” Cooper said.

With no calculator, there can be no stacking, and this calculator has been

promised for months.

Dr. Gabel, FTC-related issues using the Administrative Remedy Process. Case managers are unaware of these rules; 'the process is broken.' Many staff do not understand the nuances of the law1.       The process (§2241) can take months to over a year to even reach the district court, sometimes too late2.       Case Managers are left to (be the middle child), telling AIC that “The BOP Central Office” advised they have no update or information regarding their projected date of leaving the institution.3.       At times, they are held until after that date.

KEEPING YOUR RECORDS IS YOUR INSURANCE - YOU HOPE YOU DON’T NEED IT - UNTIL YOU DO. 

INDICTED AND FACING PRISONI’m Dr. Marc Blatstein. I spent time in Federal Prison, and now I’m here to help you on your journey. After the video, for more, check out PPSRUS.com.

You can navigate these challenging times with knowledge, preparation, and confidence. The DOJ has been asking questions, and with a 98% conviction rate, the odds are not in your favor.

Your future is at stake, so hiring a legal team with a proven track record of successfully defending cases like yours is critical. Don't just settle for experience; choose a team that can get you the best outcome. Making the right choices today can move you forward with confidence tomorrow.

It’s a fool's errand to depend on your memory or the BOP file to be 100% accurate. Keep a record of everything you do (and conversations you have with BOP staff) by the date, time, day, and any valuable insights you want to remember.

Why?We all have insurance to protect our health, auto, home, and life (insurance). We hope we won’t need it but are grateful it’s there when we do.

Inside.·      This includes any summaries of interactions with correction staff, FSA classes/Programs attended, by name, date, and what you've learned.·      Constructive activities should include learning about things or subjects that interest you, such as reading Nonfiction Books or getting an Education (GED, post-secondary, and correspondence college classes toward a degree should also be included).· Consider teaching a class if you’re a rocket scientist (entrepreneur, doctor, scientist, artist, or writer).

Why?Suppose that after 11 months of taking FSA classes, your case manager asks you why you missed one or two classes. How can you show proof that you did and were there, especially if the BOP verification is incorrect? Did you have Insurance?
