My Husband served in Montgomery alongside Nate for many months. Nate gives a spot on description of what this experience is like. It is hard and lonely and the time does not go quickly. But it is not scary. We met many kind and helpful people who I refer to as the silver linings about this process. Nate and his wife are some of those people for us. We will love them always. Look for the silver linings on this journey.
Tessa, it is so kind of you to comment as you and Bruce could have easily done this video also. You hit the nail on the head. Look for the silver linings and the time will move. Bruce was a silver lining to me and you were to Nancy. We will always remember the visits during visitation and Bruce and I lamenting after the visits were over. It was so hard to see you all go. Thank you for watching this and responding. Nancy and I will always remember you and Bruce-- our silver linings. God Bless.
Are u still married to him? If so he should be great full. My wife wouldn’t drive me to have surgery let alone prison. And if I didn’t earn any money for 6 months it would be over. Good 4 him
Special thank you to Dr. Schott for sharing so much valuable information about Montgomery and his experience!!
Thank you for watching. Nate is just terrific!
Thank you so much Amy. I appreciate your comments.
Another excellent video from Justin and Nate. . .two great communicators!

Thank you Brad. You are kind.
Great interview. I was just sentenced to 33 months and am trying to get into Montgomery. This video is so great and prepares me for my sentence. Hopefully I can follow Dr.Nate’s timeline and get out quickly! Thanks guys!

Thanks for watching!
@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial Thank you Sandra.
Fantastic video!
Thank you!!
Thank you for the video to educate the new prisoner I’m going to surrender myself very soon in sep . Till now I have not received any information from the gov which prison I’m going . Every night I’m watching your video thank you so much . Once I receive which prison I’m going can you help me thru the process? I’m having fear of going to prison.
How did you go from 33 to 10? I know RDAP played a big role but what else? My son is about to go into a low with 33. He’s going to interview for RDAP and get some good time with the First Step Act and some halfway house credits with other recovery programs and work inside but is there something else he’s missing?
Thank you for asking. Let me help! Nate adjusted very well in prison. He did not complain, he did his job, he avoided problems and he did not beg his case managers each day for more halfway house time. Instead, he engaged in programming, focused on his family and he prepared to go home. For that reason, administrators rewarded him with more time in the halfway house. Here is the math: 33 months, less 15% good time, leaves 28 months. Completing RDAP took another 9 months off the sentence. Now we are down to 19 months. The law allows up to 12 months in the halfway house/home confinement. Nate was given 9 months in the community. That is how we got down to 10 months.
Paula, timing also played a role in it. When I got there, I went straight into RDAP. I didn’t wait 6 weeks. Or 3 months for that matter. And everything else Justin said. Justin and his team helped me tremendously. I wish your son well. This time will pass. He Will be home. Hang in there. Stay strong and God Bless.
I have to self Surrender to FPC Montgomery in June 2024 sentence to 27 months, is the RDAP program there at the location??
I was recommended this video for what reason? Is this a sign?
Transit is the worst. I remember being transported from federal holding in Pahrump, NV to Chicago IL. The holding area at Chicago was nothing short of a disaster area. Broken nonworking heads. No water. Yeah, lots of fun. But from what I hear, it Con Air beats diesel therapy any day.
I was fortunate to avoid transit.
flew from victorville to OKC.after a couple years flew from OKC to colorado.
More than likely going to Sheridan Camp since it's close by I'd imagine. Do they have a weight pile or do any camps have a gym with weights or cable machines?
I was at lompoc and florence camp. I heard sheridan is cool.
Prison for wealthy whites.
Im not wealthy and I got indicted with skyline piru. I went herlong medium to big spring low to lompoc camp to Florence camp.
@@takemetothetop2538 if you got a CDL A to drive trucks can you get a job driving trucks?
Pow camp not really, quiet contemplating crimes seems truly correction.
How nice and helpful would the other prisoners be for a non-tough gay prisoner be treated?
Omg Loving the shares of story’s, I am ashamed to say, that if showering was dangerous or difficult if even available, I think I would funk the freak out, do a simple bird bath, wash face, Ears and arm outs and groin and but hole and call it good. Hopefully no stop search involved for the bird bath and no actual shower.
If I dropped the soap. Plus if u stink then maybe no one wants to attack u anyway. They just naturally keep their distance.
Oops arm pits. Then groin to b hole. And please I not go the gauntlet of don’t drop the soap.
