That is a myth and a lie. Prison, whether it is maximum security, medium security, low or a camp, is a horrible place to be. Why? Because you are held against your will. No human, except a murderer with blood on his hands, should be held against their will. photo of warehouse in background from visitor yard Michael Cohen, former lawyer and fixer for Trump, may be heading to Otisville in two or three months.
