For Charles:
I was indited with 18 other people for white collar crime. Expensive lawyers ($250,000) told me to plead guilty as that was my only chance of getting a reduced sentence. Four of the defendants who did the exact same thing, pled “not guilty” and the jury let them go. The rest of us all got jail sentences.
The system is corrupt and everyone knows it. It is big business (2,000,000 people in jail.) It accounts for many government jobs and supports many allied industries, such as food services, building trades, trucking, transportation and the garment industry to name a few.
Do Not “Plead Guilty.” Take your chances. The federal prosecutors are not that sharp–otherwise they would be working for the defense making the big bucks.

Katy,
Probably not because the BOP is not in the habit of giving out an inmate’s information.

Charles,
Yes, there is a lot of talk and rumors regarding the issue you mention but the fact remains, prisons continue to be over crowded and other prison are continueing to be built.
As a fellow Christian, focus on God, God is the only one who can change the mind and heart of a judge.

Rickey,
I have been following your site and reading the questions answers. I really appreciate your views and facts about prison. It has helped me tremendously. I was indicted in Sept 2009 for a White Collar crime. I plan to plead guilty and already have a plea agreement which I have not signed yet. I have been putting it off but I know I should go ahead and do it very soon. I have 5 children, two are still at home with me and my wife. I know the end is near and I need to face the results. My attorney says I’m facing up to 6 years. I understand the Judge could make it a lesser amount time. This is my first crime. I am a Christian, I turned this mess over to God long ago. I truly believe God is working with me on this and a blessing will come soon. My church, family and friends all have been praying for me. I was curious, since there is a lot of talk and facts of prison over- crowding across the US if you or someone else may have heard that Federal Judges are backing off on prison sentencing and maybe using house arrest, probation or something to eliminate prison time?

Thanks Charles

Thank You so much for your website and help. I’ve heard you say the not knowing is what is so painful and by helping us know more and understand more, you are bringing peace to so many of us before we go in. May God continue to bless you with your ministry.

Rick,
Only radios were sold in the commissary and they were used to hear the TV and local stations. The only CD’s and players were kept in the chapel for all inmates to use. I would ask the chaplain if you can have sermon CD’s sent to you, they may have special arrangements.
Regarding books, I remember having about 20 or so books in my collection with still room for more but after a while I did mail some home. Lockers are roughly 36×24x18 and I was able to pack all my clothes, commissary food items, toiletries and books fairly easy but not all camps have the same type lockers.
Please remember that family and friends can only mail you paperback books. The best way to receive soft and hard cover books is to buy them from a publisher like amazon and have them mailed to you directly from the publisher (no hassle of rejection).
