Justin Paperny describes exactly how much it can cost to live inside a federal prison.
Justin Paperny: This is Justin Paperny with Federal Prison Advice. I’m really excited to be with you today, and we’re going to talk budgets and what it can cost living inside a federal prison. Now, some of my viewers might know I was once a stockbroker who built my career at Bear Stearns and UBS. I share this because despite having a career as a money manager I did a pretty poor job of managing my budgets from prison. So, I hope this video opens your eyes to what it can cost to live in prison so you and your family can better prepare.
Now prior to my surrender to TAFT Federal Prison camp I just didn't understand all the ways that I could spend money and how quickly it seemed to go. Admittedly I always felt like I was playing catch up. Look, even as I reached the end of my term at TAFT federal prison camp, I was still challenged to manage my commissary info minutes properly. Now, for some background each prison of the federal system receives an allotment of 300 telephone minutes each month or every single month. So, that averages out to fewer than 10 minutes per day on a 31 day month. Not a lot of minutes. In addition to not managing my budgets very well, I did a pretty poor job of my telephone allowance. Despite having goals of how often I would call home and how frequently, issues at home required that I some days go beyond the 10 minutes a day. As a consequence of using too many phone minutes earlier in the month, it wasn't uncommon for me to reach the end of the month without having very many minutes left. And then I couldn't call my friends or my family and it was just part of it. I always could've done a better job. There is some relief in November and December when we get 400 phone minutes.
Now, besides a 300 minute phone limit we had to deal with at TAFT camp was a 20 point visitation schedule. Now, some prisons have different policies and rules on visitation; TAFT was a point schedule. What does that mean? That meant Friday at TAFT camp cost four points, Saturdays cost eight points, and Sundays cost six points. That means if you are visiting on Fridays you could visit every Friday throughout the month. Break down the points you’ll get an idea of how often you can visit. It was easier for me to visit on Fridays because I didn't have children who were in school, so people could come and see me on that Friday and take a day off of work.
Now, another limit that I always had to contend with, you'll have to contend with is what it cost to live in the commissary. When I was in prison it was 290 a month; now it's 320, and that includes everything: aspirin, medicine, toiletries.
