What it's like in a white-collar prison

[packman]

"The camp where Cohen is headed at Otisville, not far north of New York City, was described as “the closest thing you have to nirvana in a federal prison,” by criminologist Joel Sickler in the New York Times. The U.K.’s MailOnline honed in on the institution’s upscale culinary selection: “The prison store features deli favorites like rib steak, gefilte fish and kugel, along with chorizo and salmon.” And on CNN, former federal inmate Larry Levine described a minimum-security sojourn as being “like a boys’ camp; it’s like when you’re a kid… They don’t lock the doors. There’s no fences there. You know, the inmates are really killing time is what it comes down to.”

4. Yeah especially when they can't figure out the

State Correctional vs the Federal Correctional facility. Amazing how they lifted a 2012 story from the local paper about the place.
