What Is The Role Of The Life Sentence Consultant?

by Hunter Moore

If a loved one is sentenced to life in prison for a crime they have been found guilty of committing, it can be devastating because you will want to do something to help them. Even though you may not be able to visit your loved one in prison frequently and you may not know a lot about prison life yourself, you can hire a life sentence consultant to help. These professionals are skilled at working with inmates who have just received these long-term sentences, and they can help in a lot of ways. 

The consultant will help the inmate get familiar with prison life. 

Prison life is a scary thing for someone who has never been to jail. The inmate population must be understood, the social hierarchy within the prison must be understood, and the inmate must understand how to stay safe while in prison. One of the jobs of the consultant is to help the new inmate integrate with the prison population successfully. The consultant will educate the inmate about how to avoid conflicts with other inmates, how to respond to guards to avoid repercussive actions, and what is and is not allowed. 

The consultant will work with advocates during appeals. 

It is not uncommon for life sentences to be appealed by the attorney for the defendant, and advocates often help with the process of gathering and collecting evidence for reasons why a life sentence should be reconsidered. The consultant that is hired to work with the inmate while in prison may also work with advocacy groups and the defendant's attorney to do what they can to help the cause. Because the consultant works closely with the inmate, they often get to know a lot about the case and find new ways an appeal could potentially occur. 

The consultant will provide emotional support for the inmate. 

As you can imagine, getting told you will be spending a lifetime behind bars is a highly emotionally challenging thing. Most people who are faced with this sentence will have a difficult time facing the reality of such a bleak future. Some inmates who are given a life sentence become severely depressed and there are even some people who become suicidal. The consultant will work with the inmate to help them emotionally cope with the life sentence they are facing. These professionals often help improve an inmate's personal outlook if they are severely struggling.
