Why I Love Working With White Collar Criminals

[@StrafeOfficial]

I love how optimistic you are, we truly need more people like you. Forgiving

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Thank you so much. I see things differently after going to prison.

[@tod3msn]

Keep up the good work! Don’t stop!

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

I will keep going!!

I wish you worked with people like me. I was falsely convicted of a crime, and although I did not get a long prison sentence, I am having trouble getting over the fact that the police officer lied in his report and on the stand, the judge purposely tried to influence the jury on two occasions, once by misreading the jury instructions. The prosecutor knew I was innocent but wanted another check mark in the "win" column. I lost all respect for our justice system, but what I am really suffering from is the smoldering anger I feel, even years later.

[@jerrybaird2059]

Wow! You’ve got a story to tell. But also maybe you need to review what happened, objectively. Was this your first brush with the law?

[@walkyourdog6584]

@Jerry Baird I am not sure the motive of the police officer lying. He said on trial that he had been called to my house many times and was familiar with me. However, I had never had police called to my house and had never knowingly seen this officer before. The house was a rental and was formerly known as a meth house, so he may have confused me with prior tenants.

People are so imperfect and sometimes simply unjust. People are all we have to make government with. To give government more power is to increase the potential for injustice.

[@snowygirl131]

What helped me is reading about others who have suffered injustice, talking to others in the same situation. Justin is great, in my opinion, because there are times when you can't keep holding on to the past and trying to wring justice, or certain answers, from it. All you can do, productively, is being the best person you can be NOW- - and surround yourself with people who see that.

[@walkyourdog6584]

@snowygirl131 I don't want an answer That says "improve yourself". I remember at the time thinking that the word "defendant" did not apply to me and that my lawyer needed to go on the offense, to insist on interviewing and confronting these officers in a pretrial hears so she could impeach them. Supposedly, state funds were given to hire an investigator. But after my conviction, I tried to get any evidence that there was any kind of an investigation or report. I was completely stonewalled.

[@dee2936]

Justin, you are great and we all know it!!!

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Thank you so much! Special interview coming tomorrow. I hope you like it!

[@vannahfrazier174]

You are so inspiring! How does one get over losing their dream job for the bad decisions I made years ago? Although I didn’t serve prison time (great attorney), the “emotional prison” and mental anguish at times feels as though I did.

[@melaniethomas8401]

That was great, very personable

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Thank you for watching.

[@DrSchor]

Justin: Don't blue collar criminals, that is, hard crime, like murders, need your help as well? Are the principles you lay out for white collar criminals the same as for the others? If not, why not start another channel for them? If unable to start a channel for harder criminals yourself, which prison advisor do you recommend? Similar or even maybe the same question: In your advice, you make the assumption that white collar time in prison will be relatively short, thus a massive effort should be made to prepare for life after prison? Do you have separate advice for those who will be in for a long time, (nearly or equal to life), who have little or no hope of an early release? If you don;t have advice yourself , which prison consultant do you recommend? Thank you Justin, your insight and experience is the best, and your answers to the above will be of the utmost importance for many people suffering with the prospect of a long sentence..

I have a few questions for the speaker in this video. Would you consider going back to college to continue your education? If you were to decide to do this what degree would you earn? I respect your courage and humility.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

My degree is Psychology from USC is the end of my formal education. The best education, of course, were the lessons I learned in prison.

[@andreagriffin8437]

In my youth white collar defendants didn’t get prison time because they weren’t violent. The restitution and fines were enough punishment because they were doing it for the money. I still don’t believe they need the time in jail especially first time offenders. How are first time offenders getting years and years.

God loves the underdog

[@EclairDontCare]

I have a relative in Danbury. He has been assigned a social worker. Does everyone get that or only certain ones in severe cases ?

[@seamus9750]

There really are some ordinary decent criminals out there

[@craigallen5092]

I think you are doing a great job. You should teach people what not to do ahead of time. What stories you can share!!

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Thank you, I do that as well. Not as much as when I got out of prison, but I still travel to businesses and universities across the country to help them understand the consequences of cheating.

[@craigallen5092]

I know people who got caught for insider trading It was not the first time they cheated. They were chasing their lifestyle. Here In florida it’s chiropractors and personal injury attys that have crazy scams with brokering patients. You should offer continuing Ed classes through the florida bar Make attys think twice before they go after the fast cash
