Disclaimer: I am not an attorney, and yes you need legal representation. There is no guarantee, implied or otherwise of final prison placement, medical, or medication availability, or program enrollment once you’re incarcerated. The BOP has the final say on ‘All Inmate Issues’, placement, and program enrollment once incarcerated.
In addition to the defense teams’ insight as to their background and defense strategy, PPRS Prison Match™ is meant to be used solely as a ‘mitigation aide’ in the sentencing and prison placement decision-making process. These are recommendations only from PPRS/PPRSUS, and the final responsibility lies with the legal team, court, and BOP.
You are Federally Indicted – What To Do First?

Why being Proactive with your Presentence Interview is best, is because this is the beginning of your Presentence Report (PSR)
- Probation officers are very busy and appreciate having some of the work already completed.
- It provides the legal team an opportunity to get Your message into the record.
The Presentence Report (PSR), Controls Your Life :
- Sentence Table: The Judge uses it to determine the Length of the Sentence.
- The BOP Designation: Uses It to determine what prison you are assigned (designated) to.
- Probation: Uses it for Supervised Release.
- Last: It Remains on Your Record Forever.

The trial, here you will need a Trial Attorney, in whom you have confidence.
- They will review with you the strength of your case.
- The US Attorney simultaneously makes it more difficult for you if you lose,
- with the penalty resulting in more jail time.
- But if you and your attorney are confident, and in the right, then stay strong!
Has ‘2’ outcomes that I am aware of:
- You win, are proven innocent, and go home.
