Madoff Hires Consultant to Find Best Possible Jail

www.foxnews.com

Bernard Madoff has hired a veteran prison consultant to help him to find the best possible jail in which to serve his 150-year sentence for Wall Street’s biggest fraud.

After his sentencing this week Madoff, now Prisoner No 1727-054, met Herb Hoelter, of the National Center for Institutions and Alternatives, whose previous clients include the jailed Sotheby’s chairman Alfred Taubman and the financiers Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky.

First off the source is questionable... fox news grasp on reality is pretty shaky.

Second... if this is true and all of his assets have been seized how can he afford a consultant?

Third... the man doesn't deserve the consideration a consultant can bring... he deserves to be punished period...

and if that means serving with

Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father rapers

... (thank you Arlo)

Then that is what he should get... just because he is a white collar criminal doesn't mean he should get special treatment.

nice arlo guthrie reference.

how does he get to decide where he goes?
i think the more damage a white collar criminal does, the worse the prison they get sent to is.

he should be in san quentin or joliet or something. theres no way he deserves to choose.

There is a point I was trying to make in this thread .
Bernie Madoff is a flipping Genius!

They will never find all of Bernie's money. He and his DESCENDENTS will be loaded forever.

He still has control of a good portion of the money he stole. That is why he can afford to do this type of thing.

It's so dumb to send someone to jail for 150 years. It's laughable.

Why not just give him 3,000 years while they are at it?

I think "life" would be enough sentencing. This whole 150 years makes the justice system a joke.

LOL, I agree that giving someone 150 years is a bit goofy. The guy couldnt possibly make it more than another 50 years at best.

how the heck is this even allowed i thought it was the states or federal department of corrections job to pick his prison not his. buy the way i think he needs too spend next 150 years in a supermax in solitary its the only way to keep him from buying a nice comfy jail sentence. other wise he is going to bribe the whole prison to let him do what ever he wants too do.

I'd say put him in Saddam Hussein's old hidey-hole in Iraq....make it about 3 1/2 feet deep, 2 3/4 feet wide, 5 7/8 feet long. Fill it with snakes and other vipers, so he'll have cousins for company.

That way, he will have something to eat, as well.
