Bernie Madoff has been sentenced to 150 years in prison. The probation report had recommended 50 years. He is likely to do his time in a medium security prison.
Possibilities, according to prison expert Alan Ellis: "FCI Otisville or FCI Ray Brook, both in upstate New York, FCI Fairton in New Jersey or FCI McKean in Pennsylvania."
No cupcake farm for Bernie. More on the medium security prison from CNN Money:
In a medium-security prison, prisoners are fenced behind a double-layered razor-wire perimeter with electronic detection systems, according to Felicia Ponce of the BOP. Inmates share cells, which are closely monitored after lights-out by patrolling officers, she said. They are subject to cell searches and pat-downs in the near-constant search for weapons and other contraband. They work menial jobs, often in kitchens or laundry rooms, where they are paid 12 to 40 cents an hour.

Let's see how this plays out. Now the smart thing to do is pay some guards a lot of money so Bernie can fake his death have his ashes spread over the sea and Bernie can live peacefully on that island off shore. I heard some of the victims and many of them knew Bernie was corrupt but just liked getting the big bucks.
