GeoffMousseau: Hi, this is Geoff Mousseau with White Collar Vice. We’re here today with Justin Paperny. The reason we’re here today is because this is a significant day for Justin. It was eight years ago, today, that Justin began his prison sentence. So, we’re going to talk today about that first day, and what it’s like and what can you expect. Now, Justin, tell us did you self-surrender?

Justin Paperny: I did, I self-surrendered. My mom and brother drove me up I 5 into Bakersfield. I lived in Los Angeles and I self-surrendered to TAFT federal prison camp the 20th of April in 2008. I was due to get there. My letter said get there at 2 o’clock; I got there several hours earlier around 10 or 11 o’clock and my journey begin, or continue I should say.

Geoff Mousseau: So, did you have a last meal on your way up?
Justin Paperny: I did. I surrendered fat, bloated and miserable and angry, and we stopped at this, Carl's Jr. is sort of my last meal. And I have this bacon double cheeseburger, and I was sick and coffee and I just didn’t feel great. So, yes.

Geoff Mousseau:: Well, what did you do to prepare? I didn't do much, as I've written about I was in denial a bit, and really unwilling to embrace the reality of the situation of it and really unwilling to embrace the reality of the situation that I was going to jail. And, I had eight weeks to surrender and prior to that I was just so fixated on how I felt my life was coming apart; I shouldn't have been prosecuted; I should have been handled civilly not criminally. So, I purposely didn't prepare knowing that would make matters worse. It would have been just too much work to sit down at a computer, to read, to prepare, to study, whatever. So, I went in blind someone in my family made one call to the prison to find out what I could surrender with, said that I could come with shoes and a watch, so of course I went out and I bought the most expensive running watch and running shoes thinking that I could surrender with them, but very little preparations.

Geoff Mousseau: Did you surrender directly to the camp itself?
Justin Paperny: Good question. I surrendered to the low security prison which is adjacent to the camp. So, to go to TAFT, you go this long dusty road and then you drive into the, you see this big sign, you know TAFT correctional complex and you go down this dirt road and you see the barbed wire, the razor coil, and a huge tract, and I was thinking like wow, this is where I’m actually going to live. And I didn’t even know, because I was so unprepared that eventually I’d be moved over to the satellite camp, but I surrendered and checked in and processed at the low security prison.
