What to Expect When You're Convicted
Briefly

The article discusses the rising incidence of white-collar crime, illustrated by figures like Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes. It highlights a uniquely positioned individual, a former mafia troubleshooter turned prison consultant, who advises white-collar offenders on how to survive and optimize their prison experiences. His unconventional and sometimes abrasive methods aim to help clients adapt to incarceration. He recounts various experiences that showcase his manipulative skills within the prison system, using humor and cunning to navigate complex social dynamics, all while maintaining a focus on helping others behind bars.
Once when I was in prison and we were walking out of the dining hall, I stopped and I looked out the window. I said, "Do you see it?" And the other inmates are like, "What?" I go, "It's right there." And they're stopping and gazing into the sky.
I had a prison psychiatrist say that I treated the prison system like it was my own personal amusement park. I was just having too good of a time in there.
So the weekend rolls around, they put extra staff members on duty, wondering, "All right, what's the dude going to do?" I'm lying in my fucking bunk reading a book. I ain't going to do shit.
I berate and curse the ears off my clients - but it's all part of the no-bullshit approach to help them reduce and optimize their time inside.
