National Prison and Sentencing Consultants Assists Federal Inmates with Drug Programs
National Prison and Sentencing Consultants (NPSC) assists inmates and their counsel with the best possible advice, positioning and guidance to maximize their chances of obtaining admission to the RDAP Program.
- (1888PressRelease) December 04, 2012 - "Potential and existing federal inmates throughout the country are scrambling for admission into the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program ("RDAP")" said John Webster of National Prison & Sentencing Consultants of Brentwood TN. National Prison Sentencing Consultants (NPSC) is a national prison and sentencing mitigation and investigative firm.
"For most inmates admitted to the program, it is the equivalent of an intensive and extraordinarily beneficial residential drug treatment program that will not only have the affect of substantially assisting those with alcohol and drug problems and break the cycle of drug abuse, but can also provide up to 12 months off of any federal sentence. As well successful completion also ensures that the inmate will receive 6 months in a Halfway House rather than just the 10% of the overall sentence" continued John Webster.
With the influx of prisoners applying to the RDAP program and a limited number of federal prisons offering the program, obviously not everyone will receive admission. Unfortunately for the inmate who has a severe problem with drugs and/or alcohol abuse, and the number of otherwise unqualified people vying for a unit bed, some truly needy inmates may get overlooked. "The BOP certainly does an effective and thorough interview process to ensure that the "right" inmates are admitted into the RDAP program, but regretfully there will always be people slipping through the cracks" said John Webster.
Eligible inmates must be users and abusers of drugs or alcohol within a year of the beginning of their sentence or demonstrate a chronic and historical use of drugs/alcohol. The program coordinators, in an effort to admit inmates who are substance abusers, look for documented evidence of drug and alcohol abuse while committing their offense, although drug or alcohol use does not necessarily have had to have a direct connection to the crime for which one was incarcerated. Additionally, the crime for which one is incarcerated does not have to be directly related to drug or alcohol abuse. Also eligible are persons who violate supervised release, halfway house or home confinement by using drugs. A strong recommendation by the sentencing judge that the inmate participate in the Program is helpful but certainly does not assure admission.
"It is imperative that an inmate begin to candidly reflect on his alcohol and drug use" continued Webster. Generally, during a period of incarceration, the denial motive takes on a lesser priority and a deeper period of intellectual honestly can begin. If an inmate is serious about addressing his alcohol and drug use, s/he needs to immediately become intellectually honest and reflective and seek out appropriate treatment. "At a minimum, we suggest that an inmate participate in the facility's "40 hour" drug program. We also suggest that many inmates take advantage of the RDAP program and the application process is described below."
