Justin Paperny: Hi. It’s Justin Paperny. 20 to 9 on Thursday, February 12th and I want to jump right into a lesson on disciplinary infractions, and actually tied into my ethics career.
Two days ago I was lecturing in front of more than a thousand stockbrokers or money managers in New York City, attack my ethics, finance the consequences of white collar crime. And, a journalist put up a piece at WealthManagement.com, highlighting some of the takeaways. In fact he titled this article Eight Life Lessons From A White Collar Criminal, and it's incredible how many of these lessons translate to prison adjustment and life on the inside. For example, one of the quotes from my lecture was one email, one favour, one text, one decision on behalf of a client, the inability to say NO can influence the rest of your life. Well that ethical lesson for these executives applies to incoming prisoners, and I get too many calls from family members and loved ones who learn their husband, or son or daughter is in the shoe for a fight or something that happened on the inside.
So, these lessons are timeless; that they never age, and I want to transition to a blog that I wrote all the way back in prison April 13th, 2009 about an experience of an incoming prisoner. A new prisoner had the TV room. I recall watching. It was a Sunday afternoon, Augusta Sunday- the excitement of the back nine. Gang member left the TV room. This new prisoner went in; changed the channel to golf. The gang member came in. He was upset. Turned it back to basketball and exactly as this says, the Tom said this prisoner “But, no one was in here. I wanted to watch golf”, and this gang member said “Don't matter. This TV is for basketball. Don't touch the channel”. And foolishly, this new prisoner responded with “You mean even if no one is in here the channel has to stay on basketball?” And then it got worse, and this new prisoner Tom was reprimanded in front of a bunch of other prisoners. He was embarrassed and foolishly and quietly walked back to his cubicle. He didn't watch football or basketball that day.
What Tom didn't understand was how that experience could've influenced the rest of his prison term, because some guys in prison gang members do not care if they fight; do not care if they go to the hole; do not care if they get transferred. Some have been in for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years, and some get a thrill of making a tough run on the new guys. So, that lesson of understanding how one decision or one statement could influence the rest of your life applies both to ethics and the decisions we make in the work environment, and also to prison adjustment. As I transition to a couple of other takeaways from this article, who you surround yourself with matters.
