Del is right. Madoff should have no say so where he is sent..The man is a criminal, period. He left thousands of investers destitute. He has no right to softpedal his sentences location. What is it with this goofy system that would allow man like him the right to say anything for that matter. Madof relinguished his rights clearly when he robbed the people of their money. HE DESERVES CHAINGANG, no less. Just because he dressed nicely and moved in fancy circles does'nt give him special priviledges, period.
ATTENTION PRISON OFFICIALS : IF YOU ARE WORTH YOUR SALT, for goodness sake, send this criminal to place he deserves, not a country club.

I agree Del! Why does this man have any money right now? All of the remaining money he had or has should be given back to the victims. He deserves to be with murderers and rapists!

If you steal from innocent tax payers, you are kind of a hero because you are taking the fall for what the government gets away with every day for decades by both party's and their buddies, please if anyone has a connection in Madoffs prison at least get him raped like he did his investors, justice as in #%ck in a#% gets #%ck in a#% in return!!! 1 for each dollar seems fair

Ahhhhhh the rub, RHIP remember what that stood for ????? Rank has its privileges somethings NEVER CHANGE

I agree! I think he should be put in with someone that will make him their B*&^h!!! Of course he will conviently die shortly after he is incarcerated and they will carry him out the back door and he will live out the rest of his years in luxury down in South America. You know this is all fixed!!

I agree his wife was left with 2.5 million $ so thats where the money is probably coming from.

I agree, why does this POS of a human, who stole from little old lafdies and hard-working Americans even have the audacity to THINK he can choose ANYTHING from now on?
Who told him he could? I would like to know the names, and what's more, how the hell does he have the money to do this? Is there some dirty dealing going on the side? If so, who is involved? Who is allowing this scum to get away with this?

This makes me want to find the worse prison for him.

Send him to Victor Valley Federal, where it is 110 during the day 7 months our of the year and the a/c is on a timer runs every 6 hours, and no heat in the winter as this is how he left alot of people.

Ditto, Del! How 'bout sending him to Sheriff Joe's Tent City in Phoenix. He can wear pink underwear, live in a tent year round (118 in summer), and really "enjoy" the experience his decisions have brought him to.

No kidding Del---hiring a "prison consultant"???? Since when do felons get to decide where they are going to go? As far as I am concerned, this guy is a SERIOUS flight risk!! He has billions of dollars stashed away in offshore accounts, and all he has to do is "sneak" away from a low-security facility. Throw the guy in a maximum security place for that reason alone! Even though he did not perform a "violent" crime, he nonetheless ruined the lives of many, many people, and for that he should be punished accordingly. Allowing his wife to keep 2.5 million is a slap in the face for people who lost their life's savings and are now in financial ruin. Ruth Madoff knows where all that money is---stick her in a small cell with a cement bed and give her some time to "think" about where it all is, and give her the opportunity to tell the authorities where those billions of dollars are being housed......is either one of them gave 2 sh**s about anyone but themselves they would give the money back----obviously, being sentenced to 150 years in prison hasn't done anything to this egotistical, lying, cheating, self-serving pig. He isn't sorry for what he did--he's only sorry that he got caught. He should have to live the rest of his days in the kind of hell that the people he stole from have to live, as well as his lying wife. And, let's not forget his kids.......they're all in this together.

Del, you nailed it right on the head!

This is our government in action - maybe obama could make him asst treasurer - he could work with Geithner - and make more corrupt stimulus and bailout plans....

he should have no say and be placed in a high security facility.

He doesn't have a say ultimately. The judge sends him where he goes and that's that. Whatever notoriety he had on the outside doesn't matter now. He is number and will be for the rest of his life. Just another stupid bastard that got caught. The consultant is a waste of money.

That sounds to much like what is right!! It is unbieveable that people like him have a voice in where they spend their time. I thouht he was in the hands of the law??? Or is there different laws for people with lots of money? Money that he made illegally. Where is the justice system?
He should be stipped of every red cent him and his wife.

Del, I agree with you....he should not have a say in anything,
he is a criminal. We would not be given that privilage!!!!

I agree with you 150%. He's not supposed ot spend the rest of his life in "confined" comfort. He's supposed to be deprived of comforts like he deprived all the people he used. And consultants? Gimme a break. Leave him commissary money and nothing more!!!

Funny thing--you know damn well if a "regular" person committed a crime, they wouldn't be given a choice. So why does he get a choice? Let's have some real punishment for this waste of oxygen--release him to the general prison populace and let him see it how it feels to be on the receiving end of a rectalectomy!

You are correct. How does this guy have funds to hire anyone? Shows that the prosecutors didn't do their job. Most imorantly, the prosecutors should have taken every single penny from that family.

These people are no different than bank robbers and common thieves. They simply have a different method.

THIEVES!
