TO GET YOUR BEST OUTCOME, CONSIDER YOUR STAKEHOLDERS…
LEARN WHAT THEY WANT.
I’m Dr. Marc Blatstein. I’ve been where you are and am here to help you on your journey. With work, I got my license reinstated and my career back. While I can’t make promises, preparing for your Presentence Interview (the PSI, your Narrative, Release Plan, and Allocution) is critical for a successful journey; from my experience, these are both needed and helpful.
Then, preparing for release (or at least considering it) before your PSI is a step in the right direction. You may ultimately do something completely different, but having a Plan and Daily Routine for your first day is a good start. Prison is temporary; you will be going home.
Knowledge and Preparation will help build the confidence you need to navigate this process.
- If the DOJ has been asking questions, they already have you, with a conviction rate of close to 98%.
- Hiring a legal team doesn’t just mean they have experience; they also need a proven track record of successfully defending cases like yours.
- The choices you make today – will help you tomorrow.
Before Sentencing:
- Your attorney, who is paid to keep you out of prison.
- The Probation Officer who Interviews you and recommends a possible sentence and placement to your Judge. SO YES, NOW IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A NEW ADVOCATE and get all of the information organized and spellchecked, including your Narrative and Release Plan, to them 1-2 weeks Before your interview,
- The DOJ wants a conviction,
- The Prosecutor wants you to spend a lot of time in jail because you are a bad person (Remember how your INDICTMENT sounded).
The judge knows all of this, except the only person he/she knows nothing about is you.
- They know that crimes don’t happen in a vacuum, so how can you humanize yourself to the court to counter the DOJ indictment/Narrative of you?
Inside:
- Communicate respectfully with your case manager.
- Case Managers deal with many different people daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. They constantly hear the same complaints.
Do not get a reputation for being a “complainer.”
- They are human and see hundreds of new faces each year. Try to be respectful even when things aren’t going your way, which will happen often:
- This IS Prison.
- Keep your efforts on getting home. Prison is temporary for you; Prison Staff are here daily as this is their life.
