Massachusetts prisons are well known for being among the "nicest" in the nation. IOW the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a good place to do crime since the prison system is liberal. 15 years ago there was one prison (Concord?

The tomato sauce for spaghetti/pasta would be simmering for hours for their Sunday feasts. Shrimp scampi etc.
