'Pharma bro' fraudster Martin Shkreli: I want to serve prison in a minimum-security federal camp

"Pharma bro" fraudster Martin Shkreli is asking to be sent to a minimum-security federal camp in Pennsylvania to serve the rest of his seven-year prison sentence.

Shkreli's lawyers, in a letter to U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto, requested on Tuesday that the judge recommend the camp at the Canaan Federal Penitentiary near Waymart, Pennsylvania.

The camp, adjacent to a much larger high-security prison in the state's northeastern corner, houses 107 inmates.

While Matsumoto can make such a recommendation if she so chooses, the decision is up to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

And it's not clear that Shkreli, 34, could get to do his time for securities fraud in a minimum-security prison with other nonviolent con artists and white-collar crooks.

Just get brochures from the various hoosegows, visit the ones you really like, and send in applications to your top picks. Put in a lot of work on your essays and you'll do fine.

If he behaves for a year he could be moved to minimum security.
