President Trumps disgraced former lawyer Michael Cohen will report May 6 to a federal prison thats been called one of the cushiest lockups in the country, where his fellow inmates will include celebrity felons.
Jersey Shore tax evader Michael The Situation Sorrentino and Fyre Festival flim-flammer Billy McFarland are already doing their time at Federal Correctional Institution Otisville.
For prisoners, Otisvillejust an hour outside New York Cityis a coveted assignment. Forbes magazine deemed it one of Americas 10 cushiest prisons and the New York Post called it a castle behind bars. U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill has described it as a jewel of the federal prison system.
Cohen, who pleaded pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, violating campaign finance law, tax fraud and lying on a bank loan application, asked to be sent to Otisville to serve his three-year sentence. CNN was the first to report that the Bureau of Prisons had approved it.
