Prison Consultants: Getting Patients Ready for Prison
Our extensive network of jail systems is arguably the most regrettable feature of American civilization. Criminals must be imprisoned in order to receive justice for their crimes and to hinder criminality. But what if the individual serving time in jail is a mistaken citizen rather than a criminal? What if the individual receiving a prison term doesn’t have a criminal mindset but instead made a few bad decisions that will follow them for the rest of their lives? Prison consultants can help with this. They assist in preparing citizens—individuals who are unfamiliar with the American criminal justice system—for imprisonment.
Prison Consultants: Who Are They?
Prison consultants are typically ex-offenders or former members of the criminal justice system who have entered private practice (such as former prison guards or administrators). Many have extensive experience either living in and effectively navigating the system or working in the jail system where the potential client will be imprisoned. In either instance, they are typically enterprising people who understand that their background qualifies them to offer a necessary service that nobody wants to require but still does.
How Can Consultants For Prisons Help?
There are so many different services that prison experts could provide. The service that is most in demand is prison preparation. These experts will explain incarceration to a client in person or over the phone in exchange for payment. These therapy sessions could be as straightforward as clearing up some confusion or as complicated as spanning hours or weeks to properly get a client ready for a jail or prison sentence.
Some consultants even go so far as to put their clients in touch with a physical trainer for self-defense training, counsel them to get specialized medical and/or dental care (which is focused on long-term maintenance), or hire a financial expert to help them get their finances in order because they will find it difficult to do so while serving time in prison. The consultant gets the customer ready to experience life on the inside, to cut a long story short.
Prison readiness is not just for those who are headed to prison. Additionally, consultants help the relatives of those who will soon be behind bars. Long after the primary client has left prison, many families of clients still keep in touch with the prison consultants they hire. Questions may arise; if they are left unanswered, these ambiguities will worsen, leaving everyone involved—client and family—feeling helpless and lost. Prison consultants with experience can offer some guidance and give a thorough explanation of what is happening, how probable it is that a situation will resolve itself, and how to influence different processes. They serve as a counselor, prison specialist, and legal advisors all rolled into one.
A wide range of in-prison services is also provided by prison experts. For instance, many prisoners become involved in prison disciplinary actions at some point during their sentence. A client can receive assistance from qualified prison consultants in both preparing for a prison disciplinary hearing and in appealing a guilty verdict. Additionally, they can help with inmate job assignments, post-conviction motions, transfers, medical treatment interventions, and petitions for Inmate Financial Responsibility Program revisions. They can also help with drug program placement analyses.
Basically, prison consultants can try to persuade prison administrations to take particular actions or refrain from taking them by utilizing their experience and unique set of talents. Additionally, they can provide clients with information on how to carry out their goals, such as specific housing and employment responsibilities, program participation, etc. Since much of this job is more of an art than a science, the customer typically pays for the consultant’s time rather than a particular result.
This is comprehensible given that there are no clear-cut procedures that can be followed to get the intended outcome in situations like disciplinary actions, transfers, and work detail assignments. Instead, knowledgeable prison consultants can provide customers with guidance and inspire prison staff to work toward the desired outcome.
What To Look For In A Prison Consultant
In general, the main evaluating factor is relevant experience. Prospective clients should look for a prison consulting company that employs consultants who have experience working for or volunteering in the jail system where the client will be housed. Additionally, it would be a good idea for the consultant to have spent some time at the level of security where the customer is most likely to reside. And several years of experience doesn’t hurt. A respectable amount of experience is five years, but 10 or more is excellent. A consultant with legal experience is undoubtedly advantageous. Regardless of any specific experience, the customer must have the impression that the consultant is knowledgeable about the subject at hand and is someone the client can relate to and trust. The most crucial aspect of all may be this link.
