From Sunrise to Lockdown: One Day In Federal Prison Camp

Earlier today, I received a call from two doctors, both of whom are preparing to surrender to Miami Federal Prison Camp tomorrow. They are each facing a 41-month sentence in federal prison.
During our conversation, they requested a detailed account of a typical day during my time in federal prison. They have watched several of our videos and have some goals they’d like to achieve; however, they were eager to understand the more granular, day-to-day, and even minute-to-minute details of federal prison life.
Believing that others could benefit from this insight, I decided to focus on April 24, 2009-a day from my own time in prison. This live video describes this specific day in detail, along with five key takeaways that should assist these doctors, as well as anyone else, preparing to serve time in federal prison.

I have a close relative at FPC Duluth who says one of the first things his roommates taught him was to never, ever look inside anyone's cubical when walking by. Just look straight ahead because the prisoners take what little privacy they can get very seriously and looking into their cubical was viewed as a violation of that privacy. He recently moved into the dorm used for inmates who are close to being released and hopes to be out as early as August of this year, 2024. Your KZbin comments have been a tremendous asset for him as I pass along the information to him. Before he self-surrendered he was also constantly watching your videos so he was more prepared for prison than the average inmate. We can't thank you enough for what you and your partner do for everyone heading to federal prison.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share this message with me. Of all the things I described in this video, documenting his journey through his release plan is the most important. It will help his adjustment on the other side, I assure you. Again, thank you. Sending my best to you and your friend.

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial He writes in his journal every day (thank you Justin!) He keeps working on a detailed release plan (thank you again, Justin) and he's mentioned these things to his case manager who is apparently very supportive of those efforts! (again..thank you Justin!)

Made my day!!!

It would be like looking into someone’s hotel room when the door was open!

[@adrianjanssens7116]

@@Tinyteacher1111 I spent about a week in a hospital in a small town and EVERYONE who walked by my room looked in. I hated that as I had burns on my face. I closed the curtains so they could not see into my room. Prisoners do not have curtains to close.

I forgot I had subscribed to this channel, but I was looking for info to help my son while he was in jail for disorderly conduct when he was psychotic from Lyme disease and got violent with his dad and me. I was preparing to speak to the judge (the most punitive one, who has since been fired for a DUI!) to get him into a psychiatric hospital and was prepared to drive him. The judge said no, and I had had it all lined up. He came out WAY WORSE than he went in because he was traumatized and had several seizures there, broke glasses, had to come out to go to court, and slept on cement for 39 more days. It was a NIGHTMARE, and he learned nothing except more anger! They took away all the mental illness hospitals in MI many years ago, and everyone ends up in jail. This was a very informative video. I only wish my 38 year-old son had not been ostracized by his entire family, girlfriend, sister, and his dad and me, except that we forgave him. He will probably never let him back into the family now. I hope you found your bliss!

Please forgive my grammatical errors. I believe they are corrected.

Justin, you had a good routine and a focused plan for your time after release, but what do you wish you had done different in your prison day-to -day routine? Great video.

[@SaltyDraws]

Right on!

I was at mcfarland when taft was a cdcr community correctional facility. Then GEO bought it? or the other private prison corp. I went from a medium to a low then i went to a couple of camps.

[@NicholasS-oz7hi]

They do standing counts at 1am and 3am?

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

No don’t stand for those. Just have to be in cubicle.

Unlike the Innocence project which helps convicts who have be unfairly accused, you are supporting wealthy men who ripped of millions of people? Why?- if a black man stole $50 out of a woman’s purse he’d be looking at hard time. You were involved in securities fraud & only got one year! More effort is needed for innocent convicts serving life - not scam artists who get away with doing time at a country club

It's not a zero sum game. Work is needed on both ends of the spectrum.

[@kenherrera2819]

I understand your dissatisfaction with the justice system and the injustice so often seen there, however I must defend Justin on this. I have a close relative who did not rip anyone off and is not a millionaire who is doing time in a federal camp. The advice we have gotten at no charge at all through Justin's KZbin channel has proven to be solid gold. It has helped him through the entire process, helped him get a sentence significantly shorter than what the government wanted, helped him take full advantage of the First Step Act, helped him cope with the huge changes brought about by prison and continues to help him prepare for an early release. Just from watching Justin's videos and getting a few Prison Professor books my entire family has realized tremendous benefits. The information we were able to get from this site at no charge at all has proven to be invaluable and it was all offered to anyone who wanted it. It's there for the taking for anyone, even to the, as you put it, "black man who stole $50 dollars out of a woman's purse". We never contracted with Justin and I've never met him, but I would happily meet him one day to shake his hand and thank him for what he made possible for my loved one and I'm sure for countless others who have followed his videos and advice.
