So what is a Financial Concierge?

First, we open a functioning bank account with a reputable bank for each client, which is the foundation for all of our services. We then weave the client’s personal information in such a way that it creates a worldly presence for them. They will be released with a long standing bank account and credit history (if they desire) which will help prepare them for re-entry into society.

We often say “if it can be done, we will try to do it” and we mean exactly that, so in addition to the many services we offer, we also do what we call “self-directed services” for our clients. It is truly an individual experience and what services the clients choose to use is entirely up to them.

 

In all of our communication with our clients we focus on preparing for re-entry; that means different things to each client. Some want to place their money in higher interest accounts to save for release or to develop their credit by applying for secured credit cards. Some want to order gifts for their loved ones, get recognition for their art work or writing, develop a business idea or strengthen their relationships with family and friends. Some want to educate themselves, some want a voice to advocate on their behalf and some just want to be heard and reach out into the world. Prisoner Assistant gives them the framework and tools to do these things. We unlock their minds and bring the world to their fingertips.

Most prisoners will in fact be released. They will be released to our communities, so the question we pose is who would you rather be your neighbor? An unprepared, newly released offender with no direction, no money and no prospects or would you prefer someone who is better prepared for the reality of the world?

Someone who has learned how to manage their money, who has funds saved for the future; someone who understands the value of a banking relationship and credit history; someone who cares about strengthening their family ties and relationships with loved ones; someone who has educated themselves, developed a resume, business plan or portfolio and has direction; someone with focus and vision; someone who has made mistakes and has taken responsibility for them; someone with dreams and a life to live. Someone just like you.

Prisoner Assistant has been wonderful. It is great to see a company that is seemingly one of a kind. The tools that they provide such as assistance with business plan creation, developing credit, and setting up websites are things that many people today have trouble with. I'm glad to see services such as these being provided to those who would not otherwise have the opportunity. Prisoner Assistant opens doors.

Thanks to Prisoner Assistant ...

Thanks to Prisoner Assistant and Mike Benanti, I have complete confidence that when I am released next year I will be able to stand on my own two feet financially. Companies and businesses will know who I am because of Prisoner Assistant's unique and focused business model: I have a real address, a solid banking record, and a strong and improving credit score. I have an email address and a contract cell phone with a national provider and was not required to make ANY deposit.



THESE THINGS MATTER...especially to prisoners returning to society!

Can not believe it took someon...

Can not believe it took someone this long to bring a service like this to prisoners! I am unfortunate enough to have a loved one in prison and this service is literally a god send. Just about every week he would send me a request of some type like current news and stock prices, latest trends hes missing out on and managing his money as well. Now I never mind taking the time out of my day to complete the tasks and mail everything out, only thing is that sometimes its hard to complete or find everything and get it to him in a reasonable amount of time, you would be surprised how long it takes to search, print and organize everything lol. This is where prisoner assistant stepped in, they told me that not only could they do the research for him but that they could also watch over his account on a monthly basis sending him a monthly statement in the mail as well! This service has been a big relief for both of us and I know he is getting everything he needs taken care of in a timely fashion like I was trying to do for him lol. Thanks everyone at Prisoner Assistant!

A Blessing

While at first glance this company seems like a risky proposition for those incarcerated. We gave them a chance with personal information. I have found the Director to have a great deal of integrity and he is involved and attentive. They manage the accounts flawlessly and provide all kinds of services. Each transaction is itemized in monthly statements. It has taken a lot of stress off me.

Great Company

It is about time that someone thought about the ramifications of releasing offenders with no financial rehabilitation. Prisoner Assistant is the first company to offer real financial solutions for those about to rejoin the community. A truly great opportunity for prisoners to prepare for release. The services they offer are amazing. I highly recommend checking them out if you care about someone in jail.
