| Larry Levine Prison News Stories |


Hi, My Name's Larry Levine In 1998, I was a first-time offender, and in the same agonizing position you might face today. A Judge slammed down his gavel, and sent me off to Federal Prison. I was scared, angry, and confused; and totally overwhelmed by a Criminal Justice System I knew little about. I had no idea what expect, no one to turn to, and was on my own. As I served my ten year sentence and worked my way down in custody through the BOP, I was shuttled off between nine, High, Medium, Low, and Minimum security level institutions. In my travels, I saw people, regular people just like you and me, being given the run-around, and being fed misinformation by predatory inmates and uncaring BOP Staff. The BOP, like all federal bureaucracies, operates by complexs sets of rules called "Program Statements." which are designed to ensure that the BOP runs like a well-oiled-machine. The only problem is, BOP Staff routinely fail to follow them, and makeup rules at whim...creating additional chaos and confusion in inmates' lives. Over the years, as I travelled from one dysfunctional prison to another, I opened my eyes, taught myself the "SYSTEM", and learned how to fight back and work within the rules. Once I saw what was really going on, I grew tired of watching staff violate inmates' rights, and began helping them deal with custody and staff related issues. (See InmateTestimonials) |
| My Story |
In 2005 as my sentence winded down, I was sent me to the fabled CLUB FED at Nellis Federal Prison Camp outside sunny Las Vegas. Nellis was packed with hundreds of White-Collar first-time offenders, and was the only Federal Prison many of them had been to. I too was a White-Collar offender, but my situation was unique, in that in addition to a securities conviction...I was also serving a concurrent ten year sentence for Federal Narcotics Trafficking. In August, 2005, the BOP announced that due to budget cuts, they were closing Nellis and several other minimum security prison camps. The former campers were scattered to the wind. I, along with 100 other Nellis inmates, were put on buses, chained and shackled, and sent to F.C.I. La Tuna, a Low Security prison outside El Paso, Texas. The only thing low about La Tuna is its name. It's in a world of its own; replete with warring gang members, bank robbers, crack dealers, illegal aliens, violent offenders, and a psychotic staff to boot. The Nellis inmates were shell-shocked into the real world of federal prison. Gone were their cushy days of being in a camp. In reality, many White-Collar inmates never end up in camps, and I've seen them at every custody level. Despite being minimum security inmates, the BOP refused to transfer us back to camps, told us we were stuck there, and if we didn't like it suggested in typical BOP fashion we sue them over it. The Nellis inmates were completely unprepared, and unfortunately lacked the experience of being in higher custody and knowing how to deal with the problems and prison politics they were facing. The whole thing made me angry...so I filed a Class Action Habeas Corpus 28 U.S.C. 2241 lawsuit, and sued the BOP on behalf of everyone. (See Media Articles) At that point, I realized there were potentially thousands of inmates whose rights were being violated and could use my help. It was then I decided to utilize my years of experience and expertise, and help others coming into Federal Prison prepare themselves for the harsh realities of prison life.
