Pre-Sentence Investigation & Report
PSI/PSR

The PSI/PSR is the most dominant & definitive document used by the Court in determining the length of a defendant’s sentence

The Pre-Sentence Investigation Interview (PSI) and the subsequent Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (PSR) are vitally important with respect to all four BOP sentence reduction programs, which federal prison you will go to, your security and custody level, your ability to self-surrender, your ability to get furloughs, your work assignments, bunk assignments, restitution issues, perks and upgrades, halfway house and home detention placement, and any other BOP programs you may be eligible for. The importance of the PSI cannot be overstated. It follows the defendant throughout his whole period of federal prison incarceration.

The Pre-Sentence Investigation Interview, which determines in a large part, the Pre-Sentence Report, is the single most important interview that most defendants will ever participate in. This is one interview you do not want to screw up!

 

Pre-Sentence Investigation & Report

Jail Time Consulting is an expert on BOP policies and programs and is tasked with positioning our clients with the best possible net federal prison sentence.

The net sentence is the actual time you spend in prison. It is the total sentence your judge gives you minus the time you get off in one or more of the four sentence reduction programs we get you into, i.e., the RDAP program, Second Chance Act Program, Compassionate Release Program, or Commutation of Sentence Program.

The PSI must be done correctly, completely, and accurately

There will be items placed in the PSR that will negatively affect you in program eligibility once you are incarcerated. Your attorney may not know what these items are. He may not look for them. We know what they are and we do look for them. We want you to get into these sentence reduction programs!

We provide these negative items to both you and your attorney and he will file our objections along with his own to the Probation Officer asking to remove or correct them. Remember, the Probation Officer who authors your PSI, works for the prosecutor, you know, the guy who wants to put you in prison. PSI is often slanted against you, the defendant. You need a professional’s help in making the playing field level. Jail Time Consulting is that professional. We provide effective client counseling and positioning prior to the Pre-Sentencing Interview. You know what to say and what not to say.
