WHEN TO MAKE YOUR PLACEMENT REQUEST.

White-Collar Defense: The FBI Has Targeted You - Now What Do You Do?

WHEN TO MAKE YOUR PLACEMENT REQUEST.

· a simple 3-step process

1st) YOUR ATTORNEY FIRST ASKS IF THE COURT WOULD ALLOW A PLACEMENT REQUEST,

· WOULD THE COURT AGREE TO A PLACEMENT REQUEST BASED ON A PROGRAM NEED ALREADY REFERENCED IN YOUR PRESENTENCE REPORT

ü MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTHCARE ISSUES

ü First Step Act Programming (e.g., RDAP, Life Connections)

ü First Step Act Occupation and Vocation Trades Training

· SHOULD THE JUDGE AGREE – GREAT!

2nd) YOUR LAWYER THEN REQUESTS ‘1’ PRISON WHILE

1. PROVIDING THE COURT AN EXAMPLE PLACEMENT PACKET – (Example) FPC Alderson, which addresses your Program Needs.

2. SHOULD THE JUDGE AGREE WHILE REVIEWING YOUR PACKET, GREAT!

3rd) REQUEST A SURRENDER DATE TO BE IN THE 3rd WEEK (or BETWEEN THE 14th – 21st) OF THE MONTH.

WHY?

· THIS WOULD ALLOW 2 COMMISSARY SHOPPING DAYS CLOSER TOGETHER TO PURCHASE SOCKS, UNDERWEAR, TOOTHPASTE AND BRUSH, etc.

4th) LAST, YOUR LAWYER ASKS THE COURT TO REQUEST

· COULD THE BOP NOTIFY THE COURT IN WRITING SHOULD THEY NOT BE ABLE TO GRANT THIS PLACEMENT REQUEST.

5th) THE FINAL DECISION FOR EVERYTHING NOW RESIDES WITH THE BOP – BUT YOU AND YOUR LEGAL TEAM HAVE DONE YOUR BEST!

The BOP Makes The Final Determination Based On.

· Bed availability,

· Faith-based needs,

· Security designation,

· Programmatic (FSA) needs,

· Mental and medical health needs,

· Recommendations of the sentencing court (They do make a conscious effort (75%) to do this),

· Other security concerns of the Bureau of Prisons,

· Placing the inmate in a facility as close as practicable to their primary residence and, to the extent practicable, within 500 driving miles of that residence.
