Not exactly Shawshank, is it?
A lot of people Bob's age move into facilities like this. They call it "assisted living".

Disgraced former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) spent some of his final hours as a free man Monday running errands with a fellow convicted felon, his wife Nadine.
The couple was spotted walking side by side into an Englewood Cliffs, NJ credit union hours before the ex-senator is expected to report to a Pennsylvania federal prison to begin serving an 11-year sentence for bribery and corruption.
Menendez, 71, will do his time at the Federal Correctional Institution Schuylkill in Minersville, Pa.
The medium security facility, which has an adjacent minimum security satellite camp, houses more than 1,200 inmates and is about a two-and-half hour drive from the former Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman’s Garden State home.
Menendez was sentenced in January after being found guilty last July of trading favors for foreign governments and businessmen in exchange for cash, gold bars and even a Mercedes-Benz convertible.
Nadine, 58, was found guilty of federal corruption charges in April for her role in the sprawling bribery scheme.
Federal agents who raided the Menendezes’ cluttered Englewood Cliffs house in June 2022 found 13 gold bars worth $150,000 tucked inside a bedroom safe – landing the ex-senator the nickname “Gold Bar Bob” – and nearly $500,000 in cash stuffed in jackets, boots and envelopes all over the house.
Menendez did favors for Egypt and Qatar while go-betweens showered him and Nadine with the bribes, trial evidence revealed.

Wow, they got him on the cheap.
Maybe hes got more stashed away we dont know about.
Right now his nickname should be Bargain Basement Bob.
Converting the last safety deposit box into cigarettes?

That place looks like “Assisted Living” on steroids. Just amazing what taxpayers’ money can do.
Indeed.
Where does Nadine report to?
Had to get some extra tubes of lube.
There should be a lot more people in DC other than just Menendez behind bars. Maybe before Trump’s term is over, we will see that.
He’s been out of jail since his conviction?
My brother and his wife both worked at The Big House in Lewisburg, PA.
Even there they have minimal security dormitories on the outside of the big wall
When he took me there I was surprised to see these buildings that basically look like college dorms with tennis courts and a baseball field next door.
He said those are the guys doing 1-2 for mail fraud or something similar.
He said don’t worry we keep all the bad guys on the inside of the wall.
I asked him what keeps them from walking away?
He said they all wear gps ankle monitors.
He said , believe me if they walked away we would put them on the inside of the wall.
They certainly don’t want that.
They would end up as someone’s bi#ch.
Cigarettes, vaseline, and a bite-stick.
Found guilty last July of trading favors for foreign governments and businessmen in exchange for cash, gold bars.
After all these years he’s the only democrat senator that has to take the dive for such actions must be a hell of a pay off in the end run.

Such a lovely couple. She awaits sentencing.
