It’s probably a smart that Plaxico Burress hired a consultant to help him adapt to prison life. One report noted that many rich people hire these types before heading to the slammer. But I have a smarter idea for Plax: hire a bodyguard/security person/posse member to hold your illegal gun and take the charge BEFORE any legal implosions. Though, it would’ve been smartest to avoid shooting himself in the first place.

NEW YORK — Plaxico Burress’ lawyer says a prison consultant is preparing the former New York Giants star for life behind bars.
Benjamin Brafman tells the New York Post in a story published Saturday that the wide receiver is getting advice on “how to use his period of confinement as productively as possible.”
The 32-year-old Burress pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He had accidentally shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub in November.
His plea deal calls for a two-year prison term. Burress is to be sentenced Sept. 22.
Consultants are popular among celebrities and other high-profile people facing incarceration.
Burress caught the touchdown pass that clinched the Giants’ victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
