And as soon as that person was stabbed, out of nowhere, my cellmate grabbed me and pulled me back into the cell. And his advice, which is something that I would give anyone going in that situation is, get back to your cell, stay out of it. Keep in mind that most of my clients will never see that. They self-surrender to the prison camp. There is no violence in a prison camp.

You can't be convicted of a violent offense if you're in a prison camp. Now, in the examples of Sean Combs or Mangione, anyone else that I'm aware of on that floor, my advice would be, if you are found guilty, you need to get to a United States penitentiary. That's the highest level facility. That's where they will go. That you will be able to live. Not live well, not live successfully, but live.

If that's the best you can offer someone and their family, that they will be able to live and not get hurt or die. Really kind of put that in context as far as what any potential upside is.

A lot of the attorneys I work with bring me in almost as a therapist. They get very frustrated dealing with the defendant because to a defendant, regardless of the charge, as a defendant, we bury our heads in the sand. We are the epitome of a stork and we are in denial.

You know, the five stages of grief, we are in denial and defendants overwhelmingly are in denial until the judge renders a sentence if found guilty or they plead guilty. And it doesn't really sink in to most people until the judge bangs that gavel and the sentence of a period of time in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons is read.

Prior to that, there's a lot of wishful thinking and hopeful thinking and optimism that I think most intelligent defendants will have. Their attorneys will get them out of this. God will get them out of this. They will get themselves out of it. President Trump will get them out of it.

There's a lot of wishful thinking until that judge reads those words, you are remanded to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. My job is to prepare them. As someone who's been through it, it's easier for me to explain it to them.

I would say probably 40% of my work is with families. It is not uncommon at all. for a family member to call. Okay. So my client who's in Brooklyn on Sunday, I received a call from his family. I haven't heard from my husband in two days. He calls me normally twice a day. I'm very worried what's going on. And that's, you know, when I realized that there's a lockdown.

So that's when I called the facility.

So that's when I called the facility.

Yes. I always know who to call at each facility in order to find out what's going on. Now, if the person goes to the hospital due to HIPAA, they're not going to disclose confidential information, but they can say, listen, he was taken to the hospital. He'll be okay. At least I can share that with the spouse or a loved one. The Bureau of Prisons is a black hole. Once you're in it,

So I've had a number of clients, three clients that have been on that floor at one time or another. I also had a number of January 6th clients that were in the facility, although not on that floor. They all told me that he is a very interesting fellow. He was calm. He's taking it as well as can be expected.

Nothing that one would not expect from somebody that's used to the ultimate amount of freedom, luxury, being totally unencumbered to now being told when to go to bed, when to get up, when to shower, when to use a phone, when to use a computer, when to eat, when to stand by your bed and be counted. So it is a deeply demoralizing effect when you're in there.

But I'm told that all the guys on that floor are friendly. They get along. They play board games, chess, checkers, backgammon with each other. They watch TV together. They're very cordial towards each other because when you're in prison, you're the same as the guy next to you, regardless of your wealth or public stature. You all get $360 a month to spend in commissary.

You all get the same outfit to wear. You all get the same set of headphones. You get the same meals, same visiting privileges. So whether you're a billionaire or you're a vagrant on the street that's arrested, You all get the same thing. You're a number. You are an eight-digit number.

When the guy comes around and counts you and asks you to identify yourself, you don't identify yourself as Sean Combs. You identify yourself as your eight-digit BOP number.

No, as far as I know, no. The last time I spoke with anyone, his name came up. He sat on the general population floor. They played, you know, spades, the card game.

It was around holiday time, so I believe he was as depressed as any other guy that was there that couldn't be with their family because obviously you have restricted visits and how long you can be with someone and how many visitors can come in. So it is a depressing time, but he was friendly and congenial as everyone else on that floor. I'm sure he laughed at times.

It's not a funny situation to be in, but they all look around and say, in their opinions, what a mockery of justice it is that they are here. They're all still pre-sentence, pre-trial. So there's a lot of optimism still that they can hold.

So you're talking about physically, physically a target?

So you're talking about physically, physically a target?

Where he currently is, he's not a target. Where he currently is, he's safe. And that's why he is where he is. If I were consulting him, should he be found guilty, I would be working with his legal team to get him to the best facility based upon his sentence. Remember, because of his charges, which are very serious charges, he stands to serve upwards of 40 years to life in prison.

In that situation, they will only send him to a high security or United States penitentiary. It is bad there. That's the worst of the worst.

So normally what's called under the First Step Act, they try to put somebody within 500 miles of their family. Ideally, in his situation, I would say that should not be a overwhelming concern that they need to get him to the safest facility.

So my comment would be, okay, let's get him to like a Tucson USP or somewhere that, again, he will have the opportunity to live his life, have visits with his family, but be safe. Not pleasant, but safe.

He has to go in there very solid, very respectful of the jury. Let his attorney, you know, Mark Agniflo is an amazing attorney. Let his attorney handle the jury properly and through the voir dire process, figure out who's the best person to hear that case. Unfortunately, 98% of all federal charges, whether through a plea or through a trial, do lead to a conviction.

So overwhelmingly, the odds are stacked against him. I've only had, out of the hundreds and hundreds of people I've helped, only one client, a doctor in Pennsylvania, went to trial and won. So it is an anomaly to actually win. Preparing him is only so much that a consultant can do with serious charges like that. That's why I said most of my clients are white collar offenders.

Where I would really come in and be helpful is if he is found guilty, again, preparing him and his family for what's next. Because a USP is dramatically different than a detention center. And the strategies to get him the most amount of freedom as quickly as possible is something that I would want to work with him on.

But first and foremost, if found guilty, where to get him to a place that he's safe, that his family knows he's safe, so that he can then institute whatever strategies we can put into place for him given those circumstances.

Sure. So I would actually recommend that if he is found guilty and depending upon the length of the sentence and what he's found guilty of, that he would go to a USP, United States Penitentiary, which is the highest level security facility other than Ad Max in Florence, Colorado. probably in Tucson, Arizona.

The reason I say that is that's where somebody has a life sentence that's convicted of a sex crime can serve safely. So where Sean Combs currently is, is a segregated, protected floor of 18 men. Now, it might not be full, but can hold 18 people, high profile, very safe. If he's found guilty and if he is transferred to a high security penitentiary, it is at that point that he could be in a prison

And he's truly in a general population environment where when they are allowed outside, he's on a closed yard with potentially a thousand men under heavy guard security with controlled movement, which means they can only move around the facility in one direction at 10 minutes before the hour for 10 minutes.

And it is subject to substantial violence because in a high security facility, you will see the worst of the worst. People that have nothing to lose by catching another charge. Gang members, it's very common to see that. So the goal would be to get him to the safest of the high security facilities, which in my opinion currently is USP Tucson.

where they have a sexual offender yard that is a protected yard. He would be amongst other sexual offenders that have lengthy sentences, but that for whatever reason might need a higher level of protection.

And even if somebody like Louis Mangione was convicted and found guilty and sentenced to a long period of time in the federal system, and it's not a sexual charge, I would still recommend going to a place like that because as of today, that is the safest of the United States penitentiaries in the system. Why is it considered the safest? Because of the population.

Why is it considered the safest? Because of the population.

So if you think about the population, a higher propensity or population of sexual offenders... They don't put gang members there, or maybe they'll put gang dropouts there. So they really do their best to filter the population that goes in there. So it is certainly not a Four Seasons by any means in terms of the prison system, but it is the safest place where he will be able to survive. And live.

That's it. Other than that, it is identical to every other high security facility.

A judge can only make a recommendation. So again, when I work with my clients, we do a lot of work with our clients to figure out what's the best facility for them prior to sentencing. Then at sentencing, we have certain asks of the judge, which are strictly recommendations. And then once we get that, we, my firm, works with the Bureau of Prisons to get him to that facility.

So we asked for a judicial recommendation. Judicial recommendations are followed about 74% of the time, but it's no guarantee. It's strictly a recommendation. We then take the judicial recommendation, the judgment, and work with counsel and the Bureau of Prisons to get him there.

That's very far away from New York. It is, but at least his family can come visit him as opposed to going someplace like Canaan USP in Pennsylvania that might be closer to him. But if you only survive a few weeks or a few months, there's a big picture here.

Well- A good legal team will always bring in a good consultant. I find that many lawyers do not know about us or a lot of them have what we call God complex and think they can handle it all. The best attorneys know their limitations and know when to bring in other members of the team, forensic psychologists, doctors, consultants.

As of now, it's my understanding he does not. Would you suggest that he get one? I would. I strongly would. However, again, there are certain defendants that put their head in the sand and are convinced that they're going to beat the charge. And in their own mind, sometimes the notion of hiring a prison consultant is self-defeating. Like, okay, I've resigned myself to go to prison.

The best defense is a good offense, but I always tell my clients, imagine you're the conductor of the train. You drive the train. Everybody else works for you and will follow your instructions. The more knowledge you have about what's in front of you, what obstacles are in front of you, will make it a better ride or a more navigable ride. Can't guarantee the outcome by any means,

But the more information that you and your team have available to you, the better the decisions that you can make are. And at most of these junctures, a defendant only gets one bite at the apple. And if they screw up that bite, they have a much greater hurdle down the road.

We work with defendants, their families, attorneys that are going through the federal criminal system. Overwhelmingly, the majority of our clients, probably 98%, are white-collar offenders.

In 2016, I received a knock on my door. 17 men and women dressed in blue flak jackets with FBI stencil on the back arrested me. I had no idea why. I had been retired for a In the car ride up, I learned that I was being charged with a wire fraud from a prior company I was involved with. 2018, I went to sentencing.

I was assured by my attorney that I was getting one year of home confinement and then some supervised release. The judges looked down at me and said, Mr. Mangle, you are no different than any vagrant on the street. You are actually worse. You clearly show no contrition, no remorse. You haven't identified with your victims. And therefore, I'm giving you a sentence of custody of 60 months.

Now, I've never been in trouble in my life. And I thought he said six months. I looked down at my attorney, who scribbled 60 on a piece of paper. And the only thing that would go through my mind, other than I was going to get sick on the table in front of me, was I was going to be away from my family for four years and two months, 85% of your sentence.

The judge then remanded me to custody, highly unusual for white-collar offenders. And I began my sentence in the Philadelphia Detention Center. Almost a sister image of the Brooklyn Detention Center. I spent six weeks there and it was certainly quite scary in the beginning. It was someplace that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.

I spent six weeks there and it was certainly quite scary in the beginning. It was someplace that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.

After about six weeks, I had been transferred to the camp in Miami. I was out in 21 months. So I learned how to work within the system and navigate a system which really is not meant to be navigated. The other thing I learned is that there were people there that had advice from other people than their attorney prior to sentencing that got much better sentences and much better outcomes.

Now, I tell my clients and prospective clients that if we work together and you follow the protocol and the rules and do what's necessary, on average, my clients spend about 30% of their sentence in custody. I learned that proper preparation prior to sentencing knowing the environment you're going into.

And once you're there, knowing what programs to take, how to qualify for them, and ultimately how to prepare for your release, knowing that you're dealing with a system that has a rule book. And it's the same rule book that I had to follow that El Chapo who's in AdMax has to follow. It's one book for everyone.

And it's not the Bureau of Prisons culture or job to help me or rehabilitate me to get out sooner. It's there to house me and feed me three meals a day. And if I wasn't proactive and doing what I had to do, they were more than happy to let me sleep there for four years and two months.
