I have no idea if they have a more white collar area but I’ve heard some horror stories about the place in general.

At Tuesday's sentencing hearing, the judge will decide whether Weisselberg must go to jail that day or at a later date.

Always a way out or delay...

NEW YORK, Jan 10 (Reuters) - A longtime executive for Donald Trump is expected to be sent to New York's notorious Rikers Island jail after being sentenced on Tuesday for helping engineer a 15-year tax fraud scheme at the former president's real estate company.

Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization's former chief financial officer, pleaded guilty in August, admitting that from 2005 to 2017 he and other executives received bonuses and perks that saved the company and themselves money.

Weisselberg is expected to be sentenced to five months behind bars, after paying nearly $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest and testifying at the criminal trial of the Trump Organization, which was convicted on all counts it faced.

The sentence will be imposed by Justice Juan Merchan, who oversaw the trial in a New York state court in Manhattan. Weisselberg would likely serve 100 days with time off for good behavior.

With good behavior, he'll be out by Easter.

More likely though, the judge will allow him to remain out while he appeals.

Are you SHITTING ME????????? People go to prison for longer than that for stealing socks at the department store.

Shit maybe i need to start stealing millions of dollars. i'd trade 5 months in prison for being rich the rest of my life..............

I'm being facetious but holy fucking shit how can we expect crooks like this to obey the law when they see there is only a minor sentence in exchange for the benefits you get from defrauding people?
