First, the book is already written. Second, he is a federal prisoner. When you are a prisoner, whether actually in a prison or in home confinement, you have no rights. None. Cohen felt he was entitled, and was not going to sign their agreement. So now he is back in prison. I hope he enjoys his stay considering he could have been at home.
