Synopsis

Whether our country was struggling through economic crisis or citizens were enjoying times of prosperity, moral dilemmas were a constant. Justin Paperny, a former stockbroker from the previously distinguished firms of Merrill Lynch, Bear Sterns, and UBS, described the low road. When confronted with the choice of abiding by ethical principles, or protecting commissions generated by a ponzi scheme, Justin abused his discretion. He broke the law. Justin had been a child of privilege, growing up in Encino, an affluent Jewish enclave near Los Angeles. As a student athlete, he had been reared with self-discipline, integrity, and a sense of honor. These values carried him through prep school and the University of Southern California. Upon graduating, however, Justin succumbed to temptations, sacrificing virtues for greed. In Lessons from Prison, Justin offers his story, describing how serving a federal prison sentence led him to recalibrate his life. His narrative humanizes the importance of ethics. Those in corporate America as well as academia will find Justin's honesty a useful resource. Likewise, those struggling with legal complications may rely upon Justin's chronicles as a guide that will not only lead them through the labyrinth of the criminal justice system, but help them emerge stronger.
