#48 Former Federal Inmate, Author, Paralegal, & Prison Consultant Shares Her Journey...

In this episode I talk to Holli Coulman about her journey through the federal justice system. Which by the way was so disturbing that she became a paralegal so she could better understand the law. Holli also wrote a book about the experience and is a prison consultant for women that are about to enter the prison population. We also talk about ghost dope conspiracy charges that have been thrown on thousands of women and men in the federal system, and the inflated sentences that are being handed out for victimless crimes. prosecutorial misconduct and over reach in handling cases.

Holli's Bio: Holli Coulman a college educated professional spent the better part of her career carving out a name for herself in highly competitive corporate arenas. While in her well-earned role at a strategic tech company, Holli’s integrity became compromised as she soon would become the target of a federal investigation. Coming under direct fire for financial fraud-related charges, she was forced to accept a guilty plea and subsequently, was convicted of one count of wire fraud. She spent the next 15 months in the Women’s Camp at FCC Victorville, California, 2 months in the Solitary Housing Unit (SHU) at the San Bernardino County Jail and the final 3 months at a Halfway House.

Though steeped in a whirlwind of life-altering change and hardship, Holli did not spend her time unwisely. She earned her American Bar Association Paralegal Certification and in April of 2017 was given the opportunity to work for a reputable law firm. Finding power in the written word, Holli started a popular blog on big issues such as women’s safety while incarcerated and related subject matter. This act of civil advocacy resulted in a Bureau of Prisons retaliatory- based punishment of two months in solitary confinement. These and other experiences will be chronicled in her much-anticipated book debut, “True Injustice.”

Presently, Holli Coulman is of the one most notable and respected Women’s Prison Consultants. Through various prison consultancy platforms, she navigates families and individuals through the difficulty of incarceration. Her services stretch far beyond education and awareness. Holli’s services include prison pre-and-post release strategies, clemency procedures, appeals, coursework, and compassionate releases. Known for leading the dialogue for women’s prison reform, Holli is often requested to be a speaker at many leading women’s conferences. Holli maintains an active presence in organizations that champion her causes, including the WPA, and also the Voice of Women.

My book True Injustice comes out later this year.
