If granted self surrender status by the court, a defendant must follow the reporting directions exactly as they are described in a letter of notification from the U.S. Marshal’s Office. Generally, a defendant will want to limit what is brought to prison to a modest amount of money, a religious medal/book, medical information, and prescriptions. A new prisoner will be met at the prison by an officer in charge of Receiving and Discharge. New arrivals are searched, photographed, fingerprinted, issued clothing, medically screened, issued an operations handbook, and assigned to a bed. Within a matter of days, an orientation session will occur to help acclimate new arrivals to the prison facility. Executive Prison Consultants will walk you through every step of this entire process, thus removing all questions, anxiety, and confusion.
