Overview of Services
At NPSC, we do everything in our power to minimize the amount of time someone must spend in prison. Since January 12, 2005 when  the  United States Supreme Court ruled the United States Sentencing Guidelines to be advisory rather than mandatory, there are a multitude of personal and offense characteristics that can be considered by the courts in imposing a sentence. We investigate, research and analyze every possible available alternative to incarceration  including avoiding the imposition of so-called mandatory minimums. We focus on offense and offender characteristics to insure that an individual  rather than simply "another defendant" is sentenced. Below are a few of the services that we offer:

Federal Sentencing Factors Analysis

Downward Departure Investigation

Many years or months of prison  are simply left on the table by failing to fully investigate and explore the available downward departures and sentencing factors  that can reduce or eliminate a prison sentence. Usually, an inmate realizes this fact when it is too late. NPSC explores all possible avenues for a downward departure and reduction in prison time before a sentence is imposed.

Diversionary Programs and Prison Alternatives

Plea Agreement Review

In both the federal and state systems there are  diversionary programs or prison alternatives and programs that are available to an offender.  NPSC researches, investigates and proposes these alternatives and programs that can and will reduce the amount of time spent in prison or help avoid incarceration altogether.

Prior to agreeing to a plea, it is imperative that an offender and their lawyer know with precision the amount of prison time that can and most likely will be imposed. We completely and thoroughly evaluate the proposed plea  from a sentencing perspective so that the alleged offender and their counsel can make an intelligent and thoughtful decision.

Post Sentence Services

Pre-Incarceration Assistance

Even after a sentence is imposed, there are certain steps that can be taken to ensure that the defendant maximizes the amount of "good time" credits that can significantly reduce a term of incarceration.  As well, NPSC works with the defendant, their family and counsel to assist with facility designation to ensure that the defendant is sent to facility with the most appropriate security classification and that offer the most appropriate programs.

NPSC has individualized programs designed to assist an offender prepare for prison.  We review all rules, regulations and procedures so as to minimize the trauma associated with incarceration and prepare you for the future.
