In the college admissions scheme that captured the public’s attention last week prison consultants saw an opportunity. Part fixer and part therapist, their jobs range from soothing exaggerated fears about sexual assault and answering the basic questions about hygiene (i.e. “How do I use the bathroom federal prison?”) to strategies for how a client might adopt for managing their business while they’re behind bars.
Justin Paperny, co-founder of White Collar Advice, at his office in Calabasas, California. Paperny is a federal prison consultant and convicted felon who prepares people for life behind bars. By Peter Holley Peter Holley Technology reporter Email Bio Follow March 20 at 2:00 PM Justin Paperny, wearing his luckiest pair of golfing slacks, was about to tee off at Calabasas Country Club in Calabasas, Calif., last Tuesday morning when his phone began buzzing.
While the college admissions scheme captured the public’s attention last week, temporarily uniting the left and the right in mutual disgust, prison consultants like Paperny went to work. Part fixer, part adviser and part therapist, their jobs amorphously range from soothing exaggerated fears about sexual assault and answering the basic questions about hygiene to managing portions of a business when they’re behind bars.
As a former Bear Stearns stock broker who spent 18 months in federal prison for conspiring to commit fraud, Paperny is uniquely qualified to discuss ethical failings when he visits the university. A decade after his release, his eight-person firm, “White Collar Advice,” has become a go-to resource for wealthy criminals preparing for prison. His YouTube channel, which covers much of the advice he gives his clients, has several thousand subscribers.
Paperny said his fee –– which could reach tens of thousands for his latest client –– is high, in part, because he’s one of the few people who can speak to upper-crust criminals in a language they understand. The first step, he said, is often breaking through the denial that afflicts privileged first time offenders.
Federal prosecutors would appear to disagree. They’ve charged 50 people with crimes like conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud that could result in multi-year prison sentences. Paperny said his company has also worked with indigent clients referred to them by public defenders and he often works within people’s budgets. He said his goal is not to provide privileged people with an unfair advantage, but to provide the government with a “different story” about someone’s life than the one they’ve heard from prosecutors.
