AdvertisementThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Sam Mangel, a federal prison consultant with his own firm. Mangel went into the field after pleading guilty to wire fraud in an insurance fraud scheme and being sentenced to time in prison. That's when I realized that to a criminal defense attorney, you're just a number. I ask myself how can I help clients in a non-legal manner get the best outcome at sentencing? Because I got to tell you, you're in prison, you're going to get three meals a day, you're going to get your clothes cleaned, you're going to have a place to sleep.

A court sentenced Sam Bankman-Fried, the fallen king of crypto, to 25 years in prison on Thursday. Advertisement"In my opinion, he's going to a low-security facility, not to a medium. It would be a PR disaster if he went to a medium and got hurt," prison consultant Sam Mangel told BI. I don't think he's going to have a problem with physical harm or rape or anything like that. "He's going to want to do things to pass the time."

Navarro’s stint in prison comes as Trump himself has yet to face criminal consequences for the various crimes he’s been accused of committing. Navarro made a last-ditch bid for a Supreme Court intervention that would put off his self-surrender to prison. Yet the number of times the DOJ agreed to prosecute a witness for contempt of Congress are extremely low. He was charged in June 2022 with two counts of contempt of Congress and was found guilty on both counts last September. He was no longer in the White House during the period the House committee was probing.

Multiple insurance firms have balked at Trump’s attempt to finance the bond based on the value of his real estate assets. As always with Trump, there is a legal front and a political one. His claims are inaccurate but appear to be politically effective among his supporters who revile political and legal elites in Washington. Therefore, there are good reasons why James – a Democrat – may seek other legal remedies to secure the judgment. Although his case is historic, Navarro is far from the only ex-Trump associate to serve time in jail.

“Not only can you hear the lions … you can hear the lions roar every morning,” said Sam Mangel, Navarro’s prison consultant. Navarro is still appealing, asking the Supreme Court to intervene before he turns himself in on Tuesday morning. Another Trump adviser, Steve Bannon, has also been sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress related to the same investigation, but his prison report date is on hold as he too pursues appeals. Mangel said Navarro will have to take classes and get a job inside the prison.
