"Once processed, Cohen was taken to the minimum-security satellite, known colloquially as “the camp.” The camp, and not the fenced-in medium-security facility housing 625 inmates, is what Forbes meant when it deemed Otisville “America’s cushiest prison.” It’s a breezy designation, easily bestowed by clickbait artists on the outside. That said: It is true there are no fences or bars, but reportedly a yellow line inmates are encouraged not to cross. Sure, a man could escape, and it has happened, but there’s little incentive. Escapees are inevitably shipped off to a worse place in Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, California, maybe Oregon."
LOL!
some "prison"
"The camp does have its allure. About 115 inmates sleep in bunks lined up in barrack-style halls, instead of individual or two-man cells like in higher-security facilities. There are lockers to store personal belongings, washers and dryers for laundry, microwaves to heat up food and ice machines to keep cool.
Otisville is also known as a favorite among prison-bound Jews for its Kosher meals and Shabbat services.
Add in recreational amenities like tennis courts, horseshoes and cardio equipment, and it sounds like the closest thing the federal prison system has to sleepaway camp." |
