- Prepare For Sentencing & Federal Prison (Justin Paperny Joins Dr. Phil)
I had the privilege of joining Dr. Phil on his "Phil in the Blanks Podcast." Dr. Phil and I spent 90 minutes discussing a number of issues, including:
How does a defendant prepare for sentencing & federal prison?
Why did I go to federal prison?
Why did lying to my white collar defense attorneys lead to a longer term in federal prison?
What is federal prison camp life really like?
We also discussed at length White Collar Advice's work in the College Admissions Scandal Case also known as the Varsity Blues Case. In this lengthy interview Dr. Phil and I covered:
Did parents in the Varsity Blues Case, like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, know they were breaking the law?
Do I think parents in the College Admissions Case will go to federal prison?
Why are some going to trial, despite the evidence against them?
Who are the victims in the College Admissions Cheating Scandal?
As viewers of our channel know, we believe defendants must work to show the Probation Officer and Federal Judge why they are worthy of mercy. Of course, defendants should rely upon their lawyer to argue salient sentencing points. One thousand federal prison consulting clients over 10 years, however, convinces Judges want to know more about the defendant--from the defendant! Lawyers, whether good, bad or useless, are paid to express why their client is worthy of mercy. Moving the needle at sentencing really happens when the defendant has done the work.
In this video, Dr. Phil and I address our four sentencing elements. These elements should be the focal point of any federal sentencing narrative. This personal sentencing narrative should be sent to the probation officer, and of course, Federal Sentencing Judge.
Our four sentencing elements follow:
1: If there are victims, the personal narrative must identify with victims.
2: Demonstrate remorse--beyond saying, "I am sorry. I did not have bad intent. Do not send me to prison--after all I have kids and I volunteer once a week at a soup kitchen." Remorse, real remorse, requires introspection.
3: Lessons learned and plans moving forward
4: Conveying how and why the defendant will never return to another courtroom.
Additionally, this video with Dr. Phil covers why taking a plea deal earlier in the process can lead to a shorter federal prison term.
We discuss post offense conduct, including how and why my post offense conduct led to a longer federal prison sentence.
If you are a state or federal defendant, you will find value in this video. Additionally, if you have a loved one in prison you will gain insight into how to properly hold your loved one accountable.

I haven’t committed a crime and I’m not about to face a judge for sentencing…and yet…I want to “create a record” to be a better person and make a difference in my world. Your message resonates with non-felons too.
Thank you very much.
Agree!
How is a presumption of innocence maintained when the defendant is sitting in jail awaiting court? Its not.
Getting ready to self surrender to serve 19 months for a white collar crime in a fraud ring. I can tell you first hand, taking your own responsibility and accountability, helps tremendously! Not just from a legal standpoint, but more importantly, it gives you the strength to rebuild yourself to be a better person. Thankfully the federal government also saw my intentions (taking the steps to rectify my mistakes); coming clean in my own wrongs gave me credibility when I stood in front of the judge. If you find yourself in an indictment, take a hard look at how you got there and own it. Don’t just tell them what they want to hear either; they will see through that! Stop lying to yourself and stop walking that line - that line is how you probably justified your actions and found yourself in an indictment. Thank you for this awesome video!
Thank you very much for your message. I’m so happy to know you found value in my video Dr. Phil. I truly commend your efforts to prepare for this experience. I encourage you to use your time on the inside creating a routine your loved ones would be proud of. Create a routine that ensures you avoid the inevitable boredom and disciplinary infractions that exist in every prison. Be less concerned about what people think about you in prison and more focused on what you want your life to look like on the other side. I wish you success. Justin Paperny
Fabulous interview. So genuine!
Jay thank you very much! Happy you found value in our video.
Justin's views on early acceptance are spot on. I once represented a woman in a student loan fraud case. We beat her husband to the US attorney's office by 30 minutes. And it worked well for her. The sentencing guidelines provide for an extra point off the offense level for early acceptance of responsibility. It's figured into the guideline calculation but the prosecutor is likely to offer a better deal -- dismissing counts etc. -- if you plead early and even more if you cooperate.
As for denial, I currently am representing a guy in deep denial on some really serious cases. His co-defendants have flipped on him and he's been identified in several photo spreads. If he goes to trial, if everything goes wrong on the guideline calculation, he's going to get life without parole.
Wow, but couldn't it ultimately lead to an unfair trial? For instance, what if in reality in the above case "Singer" orchestrated it all but is also the first to collaborate with authorities in order to get a deal? Yep. And how do you get people in denial to tell you the truth? It seems that the stress level is too high to admit the truth. There are some interesting interviews of some killers that might give some insight on it. Personally, I believe it's better to not "confront directly". I saw it with kids. Children that are used to loud straight forward questioning and punishment from their parents go in denial really quick.
Okay kill iooomooooooooopopooooooooh
Okay now no known that
I volunteer in a woman’s prison and I try to be empathetic…but I’ve never been in prison or walked in their shoes. Your videos have given me a better understanding.
Another great interview.
You’re kind. Thank you!!
@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial You're welcome!
Dude you are so much a better person than "Dr" Phil.
I bet that in most types of cases, the FBI would prosecute people even if they were honest in their interview.
Elliott Corbin you are right, but the defendants outcome will be better if they are honest. For example, I’m not sure I would’ve been prosecuted had I told the truth. I learned as much from speaking with the agent who worked my case. We spent the day together before I lectured at The FBI Academy in Quantico years ago. Whether they move forward or not, if you are to speak, honesty is the best policy.
Correct
John Vandemoer
This guy is really interesting. Fascinating
Thank you (I think!!)
@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial - It’s a compliment. Before COVID I volunteered in a woman’s prison. Your videos have given me a great deal of insight.
Fight on!
Yes sir!!
*It's worth noting that Federal prisons are a whole different planet than State prisons (State prisons are literally Gladiator Schools). If you find yourself in real trouble, try to get your time in Federal custody, rather than State prisons. I'd gladly take a much longer federal sentence than a much shorter State sentence.*
This is very interesting. Who are the people who plead guilty in the college scandal case? I was wondering if they got jail time at all
Yes, most of the defendants in this case have received prison time. The sentences they received were significantly lower than the government had requested. One of the more high profile defendants was Felicity Huffman. Sentences, thus far, have ranged from one day in prison to nine months. The mastermind and cooperating witness, Rick Singer, has yet to be sentenced. And, of course, Lori Loughlin, along with her husband, is preparing for trial.
@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial Thanks so much for the info. I'm VERY curious on what Lori Laughlin's outcome will be. I loved her as a child, and I still love her acting today. I can't imagine them being sentenced for decades.
Fantastic insight into the legal system. I wonder how long it will take Ghislaine Maxwell to come to terms with what she’s facing and how she will be treated?
What did he do exactly?
The Chrisleys will go to a cushy (camp) type prison.
Laurie Laughlin was desperate for her girls to go to a prestigious college. Olivia Jade didn’t care about college.
Laughlin runs with a super elite and exclusive crowd. She wanted to impress them and having bragging rights.
Great con artist.
Mr. Phil? Some fraud is harder to prosecute than others I guess...
