Michael Santos and I interviewed federal judges, FBI agents, wardens, and senior probation officers about what works at sentencing. They answered on camera.
From the Bench
“If you break my window, do not tell me sorry. Tell me how you will fix the window.”
Judge Bough
Federal District Court
“Successful defendants treat sentencing like a full time job.”
Judge Pearson
Federal District Court
“The order of mitigation follows: defendant, friends and family, lawyer. Most defendants get the order wrong.”
Judge Boulware
Federal District Court
“The more information the defendant gives us, the more informed decision we can make.”
Chris Maloney
Senior Federal Probation Officer
“If you're in trouble, you need to call Justin.”
“When the Accused Starts Preparing for the Worst”
“The fixer (and felon) who prepares the rich for prison”

Your lawyer may be excellent in court. That does not mean waiting is a strategy. Imagine telling someone to delay preparing for a battle against the United States Government. It was not too early to hire a lawyer, endure a DOJ press release, get fired by a bank, or have investigators show up at your door. Start now.
The best day to plant an oak tree was twenty years ago. The second best day is today.
No. We cannot change the past or predict the future. We promise we will never ask you to do what we have not done and documented.
Michael Santos served 26 consecutive years in federal prison. Nothing he did advanced his release date. He built anyway. That work helped shape prison reform and led to Prison Professors Charitable Corporation, which reaches millions of people in prisons and jails. Imagine if he only did the work because it promised an earlier release. This is an impact strategy, not just an earlier-release strategy.
Watching videos and calling that preparation is the most common mistake people make. Access our Hub and consume the resources we give away through Prison Professors. If you need guidance or have questions, text 949-799-3277 to get started. Or schedule a free call with our team.
Everything Prison Professors offers is free. I serve as an ambassador and that access costs you nothing. If you want our team to help you build your record, start with a no-cost call with our advisors. You will leave with a clear plan on what to do next.
Prison consultants take what Michael Santos created and documented during 26 years in federal prison. Ask them for evidence. Ask what they built. Ask what judges, probation officers, wardens, or people in prison have said about their work.
In the age of AI, you do not need someone selling prison tips. You need assets that do not exist yet, built in a way that can influence cynical people. If you can do that with our free resources, use them. I needed guidance and hired Michael in prison. If you are like me, schedule a call.
