-- The NY Times had an interesting article this weekend about the growing prison consulting industry. I've never recommended that a client use a prison consultant. Instead, I have the client and his family talk to someone who recently did time at the designated prison. Each place is different and the rules change all the time, so it doesn't make sense to me to talk to someone who did time 8 years ago at a place on the other side of the country.
-- Should be an interesting talk about Rock and Roll by Judge Goodman:

Clement is on my blog every day as "Fake SG" . He's annoying.
ReplyDeleteIt was before your time (Stu would remember this), but a tribute to Mike Wallace is in order, as he was a master cross examiner and a master showman, and fearless.
ReplyDeleteThis, from his televised interview of John D. Ehrlichman, Nixon's right hand man and criminal co-conspirator:
"Perjury. Plans to audit tax returns for political retaliation. Theft of psychiatric records. Spying by undercover agents. Conspiracy to obstruct justice. All of this by the law-and-order administration of Richard Nixon."
Ehrlichman: "Is there a question in there?"
Wallace: "No."
Famous exchange.

ReplyDeletemarketing.
We have several prison consultants here in SD/Fl. Recently one requested permission while on supervised release to be allowed to waive his self employment restriction and his criminal association condition. Both were denied, but the guy will be open for business the day he gets off paper.
