But for a few thousand dollars, high-profile felons like Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to President Trump, can hire a “prison consultant” to help smooth the transition to life behind bars. Cohen pleaded guilty to tax evasion, making false statements to a bank and campaign-finance violations related to the hush-money payments he arranged for President Trump related to his alleged affair with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels.
Prices for their services range from $500 for advocating for better medical care in prison to $20,000 for comprehensive post-prison consulting to help ex-inmates rebuild their lives by starting new businesses — in fields they’re not legally barred from working in — or writing books. Use your time wisely Just as life is short and easily squandered, a prison term can be too. “A lot of inmates sit around watching MTV, jerking off and playing cards, and that’s their five years,” Levine said. A better way to spend your sentence? Educate yourself at the law library and share your knowledge with other inmates, or write a book.
Paperny even has clients film YouTube videos where they recount their crimes. Schwartz made one just before starting his six-year prison stint. Paperny’s other offerings include free videos for ex-cons that answer questions such as what’s the first day of federal prison like and how to date after prison.
Levine, who landed in prison after working as an “efficiency expert” for the mob, charges clients $2,500 to $5,000 for services including “psychologically preparing” clients for jail and helping them get the best jobs while they’re in prison. Prison staff will typically give famous inmates demeaning jobs like emptying trash cans or cleaning greasy pots and pans, Levine said. The worst job at a prison is cleaning the showers, Levine said.
If other inmates pick fights with Cohen, his best move would be to stay calm — otherwise they risk jeopardizing their future, Paperny said.
Did he watch Get Hard? That movie was great
First rule Mr. Cohen got was, don't bend over in the shower to pick up the soap. Second rule if you do bend over, brace yourself.
I love this movie!
hahahahahahahahahhhahahahaha
