Why I wrote a book about Federal Prison
and who should read it.

In late 2006, after a year of constant stress and dread, I left Federal sentencing court with what had to be considered a very good result under the circumstances; six months in Federal prison for submitting fraudulent Federal loan applications to help pay for school and start a business. As my lawyer accompanied me to the courthouse exit, she turned and said, "Its' been a pleasure representing you. Please do keep in touch." And with that, she walked away.

I stood there on the steps of the courthouse and I realized that while with the help of my lawyer I had survived the legal proceedings phase of my case, I was now utterly alone and completely unprepared for the penalty phase. I had no idea what to expect or how to prepare for my impending stay in Federal prison.

My mind was flooded with countless questions about Federal prison rules and Federal prisons in general.
 

• What will the other inmates think of me?
• Will I be assaulted
• Will I be extorted?
• Will I be strip searched?
• Will I be given a body cavity search?
• What will a normal day be like?
• How will I pass the time?
• Can I exercise?
• What will I eat?
• Will I be locked in a cell?
• What will the sleeping arrangements be like?
• Will I have to shower in front of other men?
• Will I have to go to the bathroom in front of other men?
• Can I bring anything with me?
• Which one of the hundreds of Federal prisons out there will I be sent to?
• What about my medications?
• Will I be locked up with murderers and rapists?
• What if I get sick?
• Will everyone know the details of my crime?
• What will happen to my business?
• How soon and how often can I have visitors?
• What will the prison look like?
• Who will I eat with in the chow hall?
• What about gangs in Federal prisons?
• Will I need money in prison? How much?
• Will I be forced to work? What kind of job will I get?
• Can I use the bathroom at any time day or night?

I immediately turned to the Internet and came across a number of websites offering Federal prison survival guides. I purchased publications with titles like "Survive Jail!", "Federal Prisons - Survive!", and "Down Time".  I read all of these Federal prison books front to back. After a few months in Federal prison, I came to realize that all of these Federal prison books, while certainly offering some good information about Federal prisons, had been severely flawed.
 

I too am being convicted of a white collar crime and this has been the scariest process of my life. Finding information on sentencing, prison life ect ect has been tough to do in language that people who have never been involved with the criminal system before understand. Thank you for writing this book. T.L. in Florida

The one glaring flaw
in all the prison books and guides that I read.

There was one glaring flaw in all the Federal prison survival books that I read. They attempted to cater to everyone. The fact is that the different security level Federal prisons are vastly different on all levels; inmate and staff attitudes, rules--spoken and unspoken, sleeping and living arrangements, level of bureaucracy and much, much more.

Any general guide then that attempts to address inmate concerns at all Federal prisons is bound to omit important specifics and provide erroneous information that is simply irrelevant at best and dangerous at worst.

For someone who has been through the Federal prison system, it will be no secret that the information that an inmate at a minimum security Federal Prison Camp for example (where there is not even a fence to prevent escape) will find useful and relevant will not be of much help to an inmate at a high or maximum security facility.

However, in the interest of profits, it seems that many authors have turned a blind eye to this fact. While certainly helping to boost sales, implying that a single book will be found useful by all security level Federal inmates is in my mind grossly irresponsible and borderline negligent.

What makes this guide different
and what this means for you.

I did my time in a Federal Medical Center (FMC), which is government public relations talk for one prison housing inmates of ALL security levels adjoined by a small clinic, staffed by a few doctors and nurses. A FMC is officially referred to as an Administrative facility by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP).

With triple razor wire fences, controlled moves and many inmates doing decades and even life, the security level at a FMC is similar to that of a low security Federal Correctional Facility (FCI). At the same time, daily life, inmate attitudes, prevalence of violence, spoken and unspoken rules and the general culture of the prison is comparable to that of a Federal Prison Camp (FPC).

For that reason I can state unequivocally that this 180 page guide will be of enormous assistance to the individual who has been or expects to be sentenced to serve time in one of three different types of Federal prisons:
 

• Federal Prison Camp (FPC)
  Typically non violent offenders sentenced to under 120 months (referred to as minimum security federal prisons).
   
• Federal Medical Center (FMC)
  Offenders of all security levels who have a documented physical or mental medical condition. Also, child sex offenders.
   
• Low Security Federal Correctional Institute (FCI)
  Typically violent offenders or those sentenced to over 120 months.

These three different security level Federal prisons currently house approximately 70% of all Federal prison inmates.
 

It will also be helpful to anyone who will be spending time at a Federal Detention Center (FDC), a Federal Correctional Complex (FCC), a Federal Transfer Center (FTC), a Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) or a Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC).

If you are headed to a medium, high or maximum security Federal prison or if you expect to serve your sentence in a county jail or state prison, while this guide will have some relevant information, it has not been written for you and it would be irresponsible for me to claim otherwise.

One Year 100% Money Back Guarantee

You risk nothing when ordering Federal Prison- A Comprehensive Survival Guide because the book is guaranteed for one full year. I know what you are thinking. Great, a one year money back guarantee is going to do me a lot of good in prison. But before you declare this just another disingenuous marketing ploy, let me explain. Before you go to prison, leave your order number and my email address with a friend or relative. Once you have adjusted to life on the inside, if at any time within one year, you don't agree that the advice and information revealed here genuinely and sufficiently helped you in your transition to life in prison, ask that person to send me an email and I will issue a complete refund directly to them. It's that simple. You risk absolutely nothing.

How to Order

When you purchase Federal Prison- A Comprehensive Survival Guide you receive both an eBook* with instant online access and a traditional paperback edition. (*Mac users see note below)

But let's be honest. This is about more than just a book. This is about your peace of mind. This is about your physical safety and mental wellbeing. This is about preparing for what will likely be the biggest challenge that you have ever faced.

By studying this guide and following the advice given, your life as a Federal prison inmate will be made far more comfortable. You will enter prison prepared and confident. You will avoid the mistakes and pitfalls that can cause undue hardships throughout your entire sentence. How much is your peace of mind, physical safety and mental wellbeing worth?

Right now the eBook and paperback package is available for just $97—about half of what you would pay for an hour long consultation with a professional prison consultant.

Before you start thinking that this is too much to spend, carefully consider the far greater cost of walking into Federal prison unprepared and unequipped to deal with the challenges that will confront you from day one.

Your life now--before your sentence or surrender, and your life as a Federal prison inmate can be made far more comfortable if you so choose. As I stated earlier, unless your lawyer was previously incarcerated, he or she is not qualified to give you more than the most trivial advice on your impending stay in prison. I have stood in your shoes. The information I have compiled over the past two years will be of enormous assistance to you.

If you are happy to wing it or rely on the advice of internet forums and outdated "unauthorized" manuals and such, that is of course your prerogative and in all sincerity I wish you the best of luck. However, if you wish to completely prepare yourself, then this guide will show you everything you need to know.

Thank you Jonathan. Good luck to you. Your book is a real blessing to clients and will be helpful to me in ensuring that they understand what is facing them. Shaun G. Clarke Gerger & Clarke Houston & New Orleans

Let's face it; going to Federal prison (even minimum security federal prisons) is not easy. You are losing control over your life. There are a million unknowns and a million things to worry about. But with the right information, your current stress and anxiety will be greatly reduced and the transition to your new life in Federal prison will be made as comfortable as is possible.

I know how difficult this time is. For what little comfort it may offer, I can tell you that the stress surrounding your impending incarceration and indeed your time in Federal prison will pass. I wish you the very best.

Warm Regards,

Jonathan Richards
