Jesse Jackson Jr. gives prison preferences (NOT fake but accurate!)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 8/12/13 | Katherine Skiba

WASHINGTON—If former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is ordered to spend time behind bars, he would like to go to either the federal prison camp in Montgomery, Ala., or the low-security portion of the federal correctional institution in Butner, N.C., one of his lawyers said today.

**SNIP**

In the request, defense lawyer William Drake said the facility in Alabama is the closest federal prison camp to Washington, D.C., and would “allow Mr. Jackson to maintain contact with his wife and children during incarceration.”

The prison in North Carolina is within 500 miles of the nation’s capital and would serve the same purpose, the lawyer said.

Shouldn’t “blacks” be incarcerated in colder climate prisons?

He is supposed to be a citizen of IL..so he belongs in the nearest prison to Chicago. HIs wife was an Alderman in Chicago..I thought she lived there.
But, I guess his kids go to school with Obama’s kids..

Do convicts get to pick and choose where they do their time?

Send Jesse Jackson Jr. to the federal maximum security prison at Marion, IL and install him in John Gotti’s cell. Twenty-three hours of lock down and one for exercise. That’s good enough for this weasel. Bonus — you get to eat your meals in your cell.

Send him to Joliet.

Or Marion.

I drove by that a couple times, taking #1 son to school.

Dang, he's got 2-1/2 years of hard time to do before Obama pardons him.

If we thought the Clinton's pardongate scandal was bad, .....

... would “allow Mr. Jackson to maintain contact with his wife and children during incarceration.”

Because the mail, phones, roads and airports dont work near any other federal pen? He'd lose all contact?

Too bad we couldn’t get a twofer and put both senior and junior in the same cell for 20 years.
