Papadopoulos Reports To Federal Prison In Wisconsin

Source: Talking Points Memo

Former Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos reported Monday to a federal prison in Wisconsin, where he is sentenced to serve two weeks for lying to the FBI about Russia-related contacts during the 2016 campaign.

He reported to the satellite camp of the Federal Correctional Institution-Oxford, Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed. The camp is a minimum security detention center, according to the FCI Oxford’s website, about four hours away from Chicago, where Papadopoulos lived until recently moving to California.

While Papadopoulos put on a contrite face during his sentencing hearing in September, he has since railed against special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. He also attempted unsuccessfully to delay his incarceration date while an appeals court considers an unrelated case challenging Mueller’s authority. U.S. District Judge Randy Moss rejected that request Sunday.

His lawyers said in a statement that Papadopoulos decided not to appeal Moss’ decision for “practical reasons” and that “he will serve his sentence, and hopes to move on with his life.”

putting this jackass in jail for two weeks? Couldn't they have just thrown an ankle monitor on him? This guy was nothing more than a political star fucker. It might have been better to just surveil him if nothing else than to see what his wife is up to.

I went there to visit a friend who spent time there for "white collar crimes".
It's a bunch of bankers and politicians.
Prison is prison, but that place looked fairly decent, from what I saw.
Any area I passed through for visiting was spotless and quiet.

cooperating. Exactly as Progressive described. I've heard they have a salad bar that could compete easily with any good restaurant.

He said the food was good, they had many amenities for a prison (entertainment, a law library, etc.), and there was never any kind of trouble. He played poker with CEOs.
