IF the rumors I hear about Tyco are true- alot of people are going to jail. What I have heard is that when Tyco would buy a company they would then require that the suppliers to the company they just bought send two invoices for their orders. One would be to the newly purchased company for about 80 percent of the order and the other would be to an outside entity for the the remainder. That way- Tyco could immediatly point to the bottom line of their new pruchase and say how they "reduced" expenditures. That is outright theft and fraud.

Another of these country clubs is Seagoville in SE Dallas County, Texas. This where some of the Watergate people were sent. From HWY 175, you can see the luminated tennis courts.

The people who most need to go to jail are the people you'll never hear about. There are those who sold stock for hundreds of dollars a share two years ago, stock that is now worth less than a dollar a share in many cases. These greedheads inflated the value of their stocks through a wide variety of manipulations, not to mention the dirty games they played on the way to the top. And they'll never see the inside of a prison cell, or ever a courtroom. Our system just isn't designed to deal with the kind of institutional corruption that has become all-pervasive in this country over the last decade or so.

We don't have the resources to deal with the stark reality of having one in five businessment being absolute criminals, and two others being shady when it's to their advantage to be shady. When a minority of businessmen have ethics, and a majority are unethical, the system simply breaks down.

I believe we are in the beginning stages of that breakdown now. It starts when the average "Joe Sixpack" investor loses all interest in stocks, and only wants to put their money in the bank. We are just entering that stage. It will be a long, long time before people once again get interested in Wall Street as a way to make money. Probably something like fifty years or so.

What about Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, AL?

"Eglin is the original "Club Fed," nicknamed as such back in the 1980s..."
.....actually since before the 80s...a lot of the Watergate guys did their time there....I was living in Louisiana in the mid-70s when the state highway commissioner got sent up for theft and kickbacks....he was carried over to Eglin by TWO state police cruisers....he was chauffered in first and the second one was to carry all his stuff (clothes, TV, golf clubs, bass rods ect)..
......when Marvin Mandel, the disgraced ex-governor of Maryland did his stint there he organized " educational seminars"...on off shore banking, securities fraud, tax evasion, money laundrying ect....and why not?...the featured "presenters" at the "seminars" were his fellow inmates who had considerable experiance in such areas.....Mandel even organized a "toastmasters club" that featured after dinner guest speakers...the great Johnny Unitas was even on the program one evening....it was said that he got a standing ovation from cons and guards alike.
Good luck to everybody!!

Otisville was designed primarily with the Orthodox Jewish community in mind, although it is not officially designated as a Jewish facility. It was built in response to the fact that Orthodox Jews often tried to get out of doing time by making the legal argument that the Bureau of Prisons violated their First Amendment rights because it could not accommodate their religious lifestyle.

...Prisoner perks: Kosher kitchen, weekly Shabbat observances. Every year during Passover, Jewish convicts are flown into Otisville temporarily to participate in a seder.

What a Country!

Fly Jewish prisoners to Otisville each year? No wonder the National Debt is so huge.
All prisoners should only be allowed perks after a day of hard labor, six days a week (maybe only a half day on saturday).

Morgantown is not in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's WEST of the Applachians.
