Justin Paperny: If you want to maximize your time in the federal halfway house, you have to watch this video. My name is Justin Paperny, and since 2009 I’ve helped countless individuals thrive to the criminal justice system, including maximizing their time in the halfway house. You have a choice today, right now, on whether you want to begin preparing for that time in the halfway house, or drift into space, as too many people do in prison. That might sound serious, too dramatic- well, it is, this is your life. We’re talking about prison. You’re got to be ready for all that’s coming.
To those of you watching I ask how would you feel about leaving prison three months, six months, or even one year early? Well, with the passing of the second chance act that I benefited from that can definitely happen, but not by accident. So, if the time off interests you, keep watching this video, because your success in getting to the halfway house earlier can rest on what you learnt here today.
Now, once you surrender to prison there is going to be a lot of things going through your mind. I totally get it; I’ve been there. But, you’re going to have to be focused for that team meeting and your initial meeting with your case manager, who assesses how much time you are going to get. What are some things you will, or he will consider? One, the nature and characteristic of your offense; the history and characteristic of you, the prisoner; availability- is there even room for you in the halfway house; they’ll assess if you have any disciplinary infractions in prison, what does you sentencing paperwork look like and more.
How you adjust in prison is going to play a huge role in your halfway house. Today I’m just giving you an overview; can’t get into all of it. Some of you might be wondering, am I even eligible for the halfway house. So, let’s see, the halfway house is unlikely for you if, it’s pretty obvious I guess if you receive numerous disciplinary infractions in prison. If you chose not to pay your restitution also known as financial responsibility program, if you fail to participate in a sufficient number of prison programs, like toastmasters, which I loved, if you have outstanding criminal charges against you and of course if you’re facing a deportation from the US, the halfway house aint for you. People often ask me, who base for the halfway house, how does that work? There are number of ways and one of them includes you. Is a thank you for residing in the broken down, filthy, old hotel looking apartment halfway house, you’re going to forfeit 25% of your gross pay every week. So, it doesn’t take a genius of my degree from USC to know if you’re working 40 hours a week at $10 an hour, you know you’re not going to come home with much.
