“[C]ourts would be well advised to adopt practical measures such as the preparation of specific instructions designed to eliminate any basis for a claim of noncompliance with Rule 11. A simple procedure that has been successfully used by some judges is to prepare and distribute to the defendant and his counsel in advance of the entry of the guilty plea a written outline of the rights being waived, which is then read and signed by the defendant, accompanied by a signed certificate by his counsel stating that he has explained the contents to his client.”

Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 31 , 91 S.Ct. 160, 164 , 27 L.Ed.2d 162, 168 (1970), so that the defendant has not, either because of ignorance or misinformation been misled into entering the plea.””
