I receive some interesting calls in my business! Last week, a gentleman in Ohio called to tell me I could really “blow up my youtube channel” if I got into more specific, entertaining details about life in federal prison.

For example, he suggested I cover how to make alcohol in prison, why people go to protective custody, how to smuggle in iPhones, how extortions schemes work in federal prison and more.

I have no doubt there are other very successful and entertaining channels that cover details I will never cover. I am happy to leave it to them.

This gentleman also suggested that I received a short federal prison sentence because I cooperated and went to protective custody. Where he got this information, I have no idea. While listening to him say things that were both funny and insane at the same time, I saw an opportunity to teach.

This video addresses something that is not talked about enough: why having a job can lead to a shorter federal prison sentence. Rather than just offer my opinion on why having a job helps, I offer specifics on how and why working with my good friend, Sam Pompeo, at Sotheby’s International Realty helped me get a shorter federal prison sentence. In the end, I received a sentence of 18 months in federal prison; I was fully expecting to get at least two or three years.

Presuming you are willing to do the work and invest the time, the lessons I share in this video will help you prepare for sentencing.

Thank you again for your interest in our work.

Best, Justin Paperny
