FACING PRISON: Halfway House and After – Under Supervised Release

Halfway House and After – Under Supervised Release

Hello, and thank you for tuning into my Video series, INDICTED AND FACING PRISON: NOW WHAT?

My name is Marc Blatstein. In 2006, I, too, was Indicted and convicted of a felony, and to call this a life-altering event, at best, is an understatement. With work, I was able to get my license reinstated— Prison is Temporary.

My goal in this series is to provide you with the information you’ll need to survive and navigate these times. Knowledge and Preparation will help build back the Confidence you’ll need throughout this process.

  •     Since you’ve heard that the DOJ and Feds have been asking questions, their case against you is mostly complete, with a 98% Conviction Rate.
  •     Delaying to act now is at your peril.
  •     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 make a better tomorrow.

Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to call and consider engaging my services at 240.888.7778—this is your life.

Supervised Release/ Pre-Trial Supervised Release /Parole/Halfway House

  •     You Think You’re Out/Done – But You’re Still Under “BOP” Control,
  •     This could be the Hard Part – No Mistakes – Don’t assume,
  •     Question Everything Before You Act; ask your Probation Officer or Residential Reentry Manager First and Often. Not hearing back is Not an OK To do what you want to do.
  •     Some are harder to deal with – But Make This Temporary.

Supervised Release – Probation

  •     For some, this is the hardest part while on probation or parole, representing approximately double those incarcerated or 3.7 million (state and federal).
  •     This disrupts families and much more, representing a ‘Catch-22”: a

(1)  a condition, regulation, etc., that prevents the resolution of a problem or situation, or

(2)  a frustrating situation in which contradictory regulations or conditions can trap you

Prison Policy Initiative, Punishment Beyond Prisons 2023:

  •     Incarceration and supervision by the state, May 2023.
  •     The top states with the highest numbers of mass punishment (including state prisons, federal prisons, local jails, youth confinement, Indian Country jails, involuntary commitment, parole, and probation) were Georgia, Arkansas, Ohio, Idaho, and Maine last out of 50 states and DC.

Even on Parole or Supervised Release, the slightest misstep can send you back to prison for struggling to follow vague and wide-ranging rules or for simply being unable to pay monthly fees, restitution, or other legal-financial obligations. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/12/21/best_of_2023/#:~:text=Punishment%20Beyond%20Prisons%202023,correctional%20control%2C%20including%20community%20supervision.

  •     These non-criminal behaviors destabilize families, remove hope, and, in some states, appear to be the “go-to” option when other remedies are a better use of public funds.

Probation, parole an overlooked population of the criminal justice system, 5/2023.
Probation or Supervised Release is No Joke.
