Strategies to Get Out Early
Resources to influence a better outcome before and after sentencing. Weekly, interactive webinar. We respond to your questions.
Our Mission
I’m Justin Paperny and I’m pleased to have taken over full responsibility for this website. My partner, Michael Santos, launched this website when he finished his prison term, in 2013. He wrote hundreds of articles that would help people who must recalibrate after a criminal charge. Michael now focuses exclusively on our nonprofit, and no longer works with individuals. I support his efforts to bring systemic changes. The nonprofit advocates for reforms that will allow all people to work toward earning freedom. Some incentives may include work-release programs, home confinement, and other programs that prepare people for success upon release.
Together with our team, I’ll do my best to offer free or low-cost resources people can use to prepare before sentencing, after sentencing, and after release.
