Trump's former lawyer heads to U.S. prison that offers matzo ball soup and full-time rabbi

With a menu that includes matzo ball soup and gefilte fish, as well as a full-time rabbi and a chance at the occasional visit home, the U.S. prison where Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer will spend the next three years is unique in the federal system.

Michael Cohen is due to report to the Federal Correctional Institute in Otisville, New York, about 70 miles (110 km) northwest of New York City, on Monday.

The 52-year-old Cohen will be housed in dorm-like accommodations at the facility’s minimum-security camp, which prison consultants say has become a destination for Jewish inmates due to its proximity to New York City’s Jewish and upstate New York’s Orthodox Jewish enclaves.

“He’s going to what I like to refer to as ‘Jewish heaven,’” said Larry Levine, founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, who served a 10-year prison sentence that ended in 2007 for racketeering and other crimes.

Not Club Med, but, uh...not scary.

Club FED.

You can probably retrieve dropped soap.

Cohen’s Ukrainian wife’s family was involved in the taxi medallion scam. Anyone surprised?

Hard to believe that Trump spent thirty years in the NYC construction business dealing with Sicilians on a daily basis and did not learn how to deal with people who betray you.

That is an amazing headline.

Are they baiting anti Semitic people.
Yes, indeed they are.

Look around at big NYC developers, like the Kushners, and it will be apparent how comparatively honest Trump and his father actually were.

Cohen’s wife should be going to jail too. Is she allowed to break the law and not have to serve time? I guess our so-called justice system is negotiable if you’re ratting on Trump.

Cohen is just a NYC rat nothing burger. He is a total clown.

Looks to me like very sweet accommodations were afforded to the vile serial liar, like the close proximity to his home and a Club Fed housing for his incarceration.

The dirty b#stard, lying weasel merited a legitimate prison with barred cells.

They mention Trumps name even though all the crimes Cohen committed were before Trump was elected and did not involve Trump at all.
