Justin Paperny, a former stock broker who served time incarcerated for fraud, is in talks to be a prison consultant for parents who have been charged as part of the college admissions scandal.

Paperny said he has been hired by one parent and is speaking to others, but he has not revealed which parents he is in talks with.

He said as a prison consultant he teaches people about day-to-day prison life, family visitations, and accepting wrongdoing.

Parents who have been charged in the college admissions scandal are speaking with a prison consultant to learn more bout incarceration.

Justin Paperny, a former stock broker who was incarcerated for fraud, told CBS News that he's in talks with several parents accused of paying bribes up to $6.5 million to get their children into top universities.

Paperny said he has been hired by one parent and speaking with several others, but he has not revealed which parents he is in contact with.

"They're scared and it's 'Can I survive in prison? Am I cut out for prison?'" Paperny said. "What's most surprising to me about the first conversation is how many of them didn't view their actions as criminal."

He said that he's answering questions for parents, like if there will be internet available, what day-to-day prison life is like, and how family visitations work.

Ha. Isn’t hiring consultants what got ‘em all in trouble in the first place? Maybe they can bribe their way into Club Fed.

As if there weren’t enough violent criminals to fill our prison cells

These people deserve heavy fines. The taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for them to be imprisoned

You are absolutely correct....wasting time to fill a prison up with people like this.

I’d give them a fine (maybe upwards to $100k), and force them to put in 200 man-hours of charity-support work.

Screw a fine. You or I would get time. They possibly prevented a truly deserving kid going to a school they chose. They can’t make it right by a fine. They can do the crime they can do the time. Trouble with our younger people is their parents suck.

What they really need is a good lawyer. Then they can buy their way out of this mess, like OJ did in the mid-90s.

All of these colleges are running various scams. In this case, based on reporting....a lot of these kids were coming into athletic programs where they were going to be given ‘slacker-classes’ and extra grading chances to slide by. Think about that for a minute. It means these kids weren’t capable of handling college in the first place.

Go look around all the first-year students who will fail out after one year, mostly because they were slacker-types. We are wasting tens of thousands of seats because of the fraudulent way that universities are running the system.

Ain’t that “buying your way” crap how this got started? They can spend their cigarettes for favors in jail and learn how to grab their ankles. Hey Bubba is a great person. We ought to let Bubba vote too.

What about the family that save scrimped and busted their azzs to get the money to get their kids in a top rated school, while the kid busted his butt to get his grades to qualify? These rich SOB’s can fry for all I care. They played the game and lost. They can piss off.

100k is nothing, nor is "celebrity" service.      IOW, no penalty at all.

solution?       long prison terms

Yeah the taxpayer should, as long as the academics involved (all of them, not just a few scapegoats) are rooted out and incarcerated as well.

Put them in with MS13.

Money well spent.

These people are in trouble for “buying” their way into college.

Having them “buy” their way out of it reinforces bad behavior.

Chain gang would be perfect for these folks.

They need some fresh air in the heartland.

It is just bribes, after all...………………
