#1 This is a joke or a parody, right?

Does he think he'll actually get to pick his prison? And would the prison system actually go along with it? (Scratch that- of course they would, the idiots.)

What does the judge think about that?

He's in New York, right? Howzabout Sing-Sing? I know there are some high-profile white collar criminals there. He could make new friends ~~and they could try fleecing each other of their prison store toothpaste-and-gum credits~~.

#2 hint to the warden: if he offers to do your books, rent "Shawshank Redemption" on DVD

#3 Very productive swine and feeder pig operation ongoing at the London, Ohio penal farm. Eligability rules dictate inmates must be within five years of eligibility for release. Maybe Bernie could get an age waivor.

#4 Send him to the Turks on an exchange program.

#5 It's high time that the US create a new Supermax, solely because the Florence ADX provides far too much horizontal area for its prisoners, to insure their isolation. Instead, the facility needs to be underground, to increase the available area by adding a third dimension to the facility.

The way to do this on a budget would be to take an abandoned hard rock mountain mine and refurbish it as a prison. Some of these, like the Mule mountains in Bisbee, AZ, have dozens of miles of mine shafts, both horizontal and vertical.

Each prisoner's cell could easily be surrounded by a hundred feet of live rock.

#6 Well if they're not going to use Yucca Mountain to store nuke toxic waste, there's always the use for other toxic waste.

#7 The best way to dispose of a body in Colorado is to drop it down the air shaft of an abandoned mine. The usual drop is 2-300 feet, there are tens of thousands of abandoned mines, and the danger of collapse prevents anyone from going there. It would be perfect for Bernie.

#8 "Madoff has hired"

Ummmm - where'd he get the money to hire anyone?

He shouldn't have access to one thin dime - all his money should have been seized to repay the idiots who gave him their life savings.

#9 Obama could pardon him and put him in charge of social security given his considerable experience running similar operations in the private sector.

#10 I'm enjoying the idea of his hired consultant taking a ton of money and steering him in the direction of one of those Turkish-run country clubs.

#11 I understand SuperMax runs at a loss. I'll bet there are a number of people who would be willing to fund an annuity to cover his cell (and a few more). And no laptop.
