>Maybe I'm not the kind of risk taker that steals a billion dollars, but 11 years playing golf with Martha Stewart and Bernie Madoff at Club Fed sounds vastly preferable to being on the run for your entire life. Except Martha Stewart was released from prison 18 years ago[0], Bernie Madoff is male, so is in a men's prison and those with Federal prison sentences of ten years or longer are not eligible for minimum security (or "club fed", as you put it) facilities[1]. As such, she will likely serve her sentence in a "low security" facility rather than a "minimum security" facility[2]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Stewart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Stewart [1] I searched around and couldn't find the specific rules. However, I posted here (several years ago, not going to go through a few hundred pages of posting history to find it. Sorry.) about wanting to commit a non-violent, Federal felony and receive a long Federal prison sentence in a minimum security ("club fed") facility as a retirement strategy on a par with Medicaid funded assisted living facilities. The former not requiring you to spend all your assets (okay, you can keep $2000) to be eligible. I was informed, with links that sentences of ten years or more are not eligible for Federal minimum security facilities.

I was unaware that there was variation by state. Thanks for sharing that!

I'm well aware of Martha Stewart's current status as an ex-con, and that Bernie Madoff died two years ago. Either way, while Mrs. Holmes won't quite have an 18-hole golf course at her new digs, my point still stands. She'll be out before she's 50.

  Sorry for the late reply. So you think Holmes got off too lightly, yes? Maybe she did. I don't know. Eleven years is a pretty long time, especially if you're in a crowded place without the ability to leave. What would you suggest instead? Put her in a male supermax prison and let the inmates have at her? Or just put two bullets in the back of her head? Either way, it's no skin off my nose. Although, TBH I think an extended supermax prison-wide gang rape might be overkill. But I'd be fine with two in the back of the head.
