Today I was quoted in the NY Times about my temporary stay in the federal prison known as Otisville, I link the story here...

Like I told the reporter, camp Otisville is not club fed. 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.

Michael Cohen, former lawyer and fixer for Trump, may be heading to Otisville in two or three months. Perhaps he can work for CO Scelba, an interesting cop with mood swings. Sometimes CO Scelba can come wrecking cabinets or sometimes he can make jokes with inmates or even setting up pranks.  Not sure if he is still there but I assume he is still there since federal officers like to stay put for years.

I advise Michael Cohen to stay in touch with his family, by calling them from the pay phone located in the main building. He will have to limit his talking since you only get 300 minutes a month. Try ten minutes a day. He can get weekly visits from his family, that last an hour or two.

Otherwise, he will do his time and that will pass.

Dean Skelos now in Prison....

Dean Skelos, convicted felon According to the BOP and newspaper reports, Dean Skelos, the once powerful New York State Senate Leader is now an inmate at FCI Otisville Camp. For a person with such power, being in prison, even if it is a camp, is extremely demeaning demoralizing. You lose your sense of identity in prison. You are barely a body in prison. The guards treat as a number. The man is also 70 years old. That is cruel and unusual punishment. For him to keep his sanity, he will need to make a routine. Federal law mandates you serve 87 percent of the sentence. However, the new prison reform act that was signed into law by President Trump, may substantially reduce the time he needs to serve. We need to follow the memos from the Bureau of Prisons and Justice Department to see  how much time will be shaved off with the new law. I heard from my friend, David Solan, that it is an extra one week of good behavior per year. Time will tell. In any event, to read more ab...

Michael Cohen an official inmate

Michael Cohen under find an inmate It is now official. Michael Cohen is part of  FCI Otisville camp. By now it is sunk in his brain and he is probably getting used to life as an inmate. Stand up counts, lines to eat chow, lines for the phone, lines for emails thru tru links. He may get a job in a week or two, cleaning grounds, kitchen work as a dishwasher, taking out facility garbage, working at ware house unloading a truck. There is no drama at Camp Otisville.  With a 3 year sentence, he should do about half the time at Otisville and then get the rest of the time at a halfway house and then on home confinement.
