Rajat Gupta friends and associates recounted in several
article as to why he did what he did, in that for whatever reason he wanted to
be in their words a “Real Player”.
Congratulation Rajat you are now a “Real Player”, and like
all “Real Player” you now have a rap sheet, with 4 Felony convictions, and not
just any Felony Convictions but Federal Felony Convictions, you have arrived in
the big league, way to go big fella, you are off to one nice start on the road
to being a “Real Player”. Now you get to
spend a little time in stir (it just adds to the mystic of being a “Real
Player”), do not worry a “Real Player” like you can do 24 months on standing on
your head, and you just might spend some of it on your head so for gosh darn
sakes be careful. The 24 months gets you
a minimum-security facility according to the Federal Correction Facilities
guidelines (Lucky You, the Judge did you a favor, and you should write him a
thank you note). The bad news is there
is no parole from federal prison (You can thank your Congressman and Senator
for that feature).
You get to report after the first of the year, “Real Player”
get taken from the courtroom to the holding cell to the bus, to the facility.
(Again you should write the Judge a thank you note)
Compared to your life now it will be really bad, but you can
take it after all you are a “Real Player”.
To an individual who has been to either a medium, high security, or
maximum Security they will not look at you as a “Real Player”, they will look
at you as having only played in the Class A league. Medium Security being Double A, High Security
as Triple A, and Maximum Security as the Big League. But remember all of the leagues keep score
and they all play for keeps.
Rajat just a little note “Real Players” do not whine, the
guards do not like it, and guess what the other “Real Player” really hate
it. Every freaking day will be Ground
Hog Day, get use to it, cause after all you a “Real Player”. Your time is their time. The food selection sucks, but not as bad as
the food sucks, hopefully someone puts money into your account so that you can
get stuff from the commissary (Note selection here is also very limited). Who can visit you and when they can visit you
and how often they can visit you, how long they can visit you will not be in
your sphere of control. “Real Players” do
not have control.
Early Release, the good news is that it possible, the bad
news reduction is minimal (Again you should take a moment to thank your
Congressman and Senator for this feature of the Law). If your sentence is greater than 1 year but
less than life, you already might be a winner, in that if you keep your nose
clean, they might take 54 days off your sentence (So one full year of good
behavior is only worth 54 Days, what a system).
It does not appear that any additional time off can be earned for that
last year of your sentence, but you could lose any and all “good time” by even
the most minor of offenses in that last year.
When you get out you will be something really special, it is
called “unemployable”, because you are now a CONVICTED FELON, but given your
age that may not be an issue. When you
get out it will be spooky.
You will have to be careful with who you hang out with
especially during your supervised time after your release, given that hanging
with other convicted felons is not acceptable for you or them. Do not worry about holding any type of state
issued professional licensed because that is not going to happen because you
are a CONVICTED FELON. Do not worry
about getting any type of position where you have to be bonded, cause you are a
CONVICTED FELON. Forget about voting,
because you are a CONVICTED FELON.
I am not sure if it has really hit you already, but I know
it will hit you one night in your first week, that it really sucks to be a
“Real Player”. To have climbed so high
and to have fallen so far it is a sin.
Your real test will not be prison; it will be what you do with the time
God has given you after you leave prison.
