Former Inmate

On this episode of Federal Prison Authority Presents: Around the Block, Bruce and Susan this week have a special guest, Dory Sater. Dory is a former inmate and has experience going through the prison system. He shared how he navigated the system to be released early via First Step Act credits. He shares what that process was like for him and his family. In the past, he was a lawyer for almost 25 years, and he used this knowledge to inform others and prepare him for his sentence. Dory emphasizes the importance of staying busy and how the freedom within his confinement helped not only his physical health but his mental health as well. Currently, Dory is in the process of trying to regain his license in law and continue his passion. A big topic of discussion is the difference between home confinement and a halfway house. Dory also talks about how he stayed hopeful even during his confinement's difficult times. Toward the end, they discuss how COVID shook up the confinement process and explore how the prison system is still a work in progress. This very informative episode gives viewers an inside look at what it is like to go through the system.
