"I'm sending this letter to you because I never had a chance to Thank You for your services. Being in the system now for almost 2 years. I get to see how truly blessed I am to have had you as my attorney to represent me. The federal system is not known for its leniency on sentencing when crack is involved. Since I've been here at TI there are a few guys here that I grew up with that have been incarcerated for at the most 18 years at the least 9 years, and I will still be home before most of them. Most of the inmates here sentenced for crack have sentences ranging from 18-24 years or more. It's kind of scary. When I hear that it makes me think of the negotiating you did with Mr.
Newberry to get me a fair sentence. Thank You again Mr. Shane. Alot of inmates here talk about laws and how the federal system works. Most or all I can say have never heard of a prerehabilitation downward departure because it is no where in the guidelines (good work)."
