Preparing for life in federal prison can be exhausting, especially when we consider everything else the defendant has to accomplish before surrendering. For that reason, White Collar Prison Advice is proud to give away our lesson plan on the First Day In Federal Prison; Advice For New Prisoners. Rather than go in blind, defendants who read this lesson plan will have a better idea of how every decision they make in prison will influence their future. Further, if RDAP, or the Residential Drug Abuse Program, is an option, this lesson plan will help set the tone for that intake interview. Surrender from a position of strength, and if RDAP is in future, prepare to receive an extra 18-months off your sentence.
