| Larry Levine Prison News Stories |
| An expert for everything Even wealthy white-collar criminals can turn to coaches to learn prison survival Friday, July 17, 2009 | 2:07 a.m. We live in an era of specialization. We don’t have Major League Baseball pitchers who last nine innings anymore. The starters go five innings, maybe six, before handing the ball over to the middle-inning reliever, the eighth-inning specialist and the ninth-inning stopper. Searching for a medical specialist? Practically every body part and disease has its own doctor. Need a lawyer? Your choice will depend on whether you’re a celebrity, a representative of a Fortune 500 company or a regular Joe. There are 57 categories of attorneys in the Las Vegas Yellow Pages. If you’re still not convinced there is an expert for every need or desire, a Wednesday story in USA Today should put your mind to rest. There are now coaches who charge up to $20,000 to give wealthy white- collar criminals advice on how to survive in prison. Clients have included financial crime perpetrators Bernard Madoff, who just went to prison, and Martha Stewart. One can only imagine what can be learned from a prison coach. Dining room etiquette? Weightlifting exercises? The proper way to make license plates? One coach from California, ex-felon Larry Levine, runs Wall Street Prison Consultants and offers a “Fedtime 101” course. Levine’s Web site includes photos of a stock trading floor and prison watchtowers along with the headline “Going from the exchange floor to the prison yard?” The newspaper reported the New York Stock Exchange Group demanded that Levine drop those references because they tarnish the exchange’s image. It’s a little late for that. Wall Street’s image, including those of stock traders and financial institutions that damaged the nation’s economy, has been deservedly thrashed. There wouldn’t be a need for prison coaches had the stock exchange and other key Wall Street players done a credible job of policing themselves instead of fostering a culture of greed. Our free advice to Wall Street types? Don’t commit white-collar crimes. Think of the $20,000 in coaching fees you’ll save. Besides, prison coaches are one specialty the world can spare. |
