I thought of that after I had posted my response. You are, of course, correct. I should also add that, despite the tone of the OP, I find Michael a likeable guy these days. His experience in the legal system transformed him.

Cohen spent time in the federal correctional institute in Otisville, NY. I've never been there, but do know one fellow who spent time incarcerated at that facility. Not a friend, but the father of a kid who used to attend the same school as my daughters. We discussed his experience one time, and my impression was that boredom and separation from his family were the worst parts.

I also had a friend who spent significant time in the state prison at Otisville. Cohen's experiences in the federal facility pale in comparison to those endured in the state facility.
