WHY WE
Mitigation – the act of making a condition or consequence less severe.
No matter how big the hole is that you are in, no matter how bad the situation that you find yourself in, you have the ability to improve the outcome (or make it worse of course). Most professionals facing criminal charges are not prepared, and being in the center of a criminal investigation is a very dangerous time to rely on the same brain (and thinking) that got you here. The Prison Toolkit is the Sherpa for those coming after us that want to be optimally ready for not just prison, but life.
Mind: This governs the choices someone makes and thus determines how pre-trial, incarceration, and post-incarceration life looks like. We teach our clients how to not only mitigate punishment but more importantly, how to change
Body: A healthy body is your most important tool during this time, and yet many people – still in the denial stage – fail to appreciate this. Building a healthy lifestyle/workout plan helps someone not only make better choices, but also be better prepared for whatever they are facing.
Philosophy: To successfully face prison, and the many repercussions of a life turned upside down, it is necessary to strip away unhealthy ideas and our biggest enemy: ego. To do this in a meaningful way, one needs to examine themselves in perhaps the harshest light they have ever faced.
About The Prison Toolkit
One common thing among people facing prison time is the lack of preparation and understanding. This prevents them from mitigating challenges in prison and affects their quality of life after being released. John Steele, the founder of The Prison Toolkit, was a trial attorney who was surprised one day by a knock at his door by the FBI. Over the next few years, John realized that there were not many tools available to either help people prepare for prison. As a lawyer, John had a head start. Over the next six years, The Prison Toolkit developed as a way to help those who are earlier in their journey. As a certified personal trainer who practices Stoicism, he has worked with others since 2017 to not only mitigate the legal problems they face, but to also begin fundamentally happier and healthier humans.
The Prison Toolkit is a consulting service that provides tools and strategies to dramatically reduce not only your punishment, but also improve your life as a whole. This service also helps you in preparing for incarceration and learning about federal prison sentence reduction programs as well as white-collar criminal defense in Miami. Facing a guideline sentence of 12 years, and being out of prison in 2, and completely ‘off paper’ a year later doesn’t happen by accident. And it certainly doesn’t happen by being passive or complaining about how unfair life is, which is what most white collar defendants do. When John was arrested, he made a guarantee to his loved ones that he would not spend one day more in prison than he absolutely had to. The top five goals of typical The Prison Toolkit clients are:
#1
•
minimize time incarcerated
#2
•
serve their time in a minimum security ‘camp’
#3
•
self surrender and have time to prepare affairs
#4
•
earn low risk status for pre-trial and supervised release
#5
•
maximize opportunity to get into sentence reducing programs (e.g. RDAP)
The Prison Toolkit helps you train your mind, body, and soul for the prison and how to come out stronger than ever. Each day is another day to stop digging!
