Not for a minute do I think that this is Madoff's cell. Show us the real thing.

If we could only get to pick his roommate.

My first choice would be to feed Nancy Grace a steady diet of crystal meth for breakfast--but then, how would we know- and then lock her up with Madoff.
She should be jailed for hounding her pre-judged victims into suicide and being the worst sort of an all around sanctimoniously offensive lawyer
That would be justice at its finest.

He's got more than he deserves and he has holes he can pay with too.

Give him a week or so of this and then a pad of paper and a crayon a day to write with.

It is really a shame to losean opportunity to know more of this heinously bizarre mindset .
If that dreary Octomom can blog her kiss the booboo babies ad infinitum, then why not someone whose every paragraph is bound to be interesting in one way or another.

If this is all Madoff has got to offer the people he has damaged by the thousands, then let us hear what he has to say instead of letting him die with his secrets intact.
At that age, he's not going to be around too long in an environment like that.
Put it into book form and use the sales to repay the eldest neediest on down.

And, trust me, what Madoff is going through is no different than recuperating from a serious illness.

It is annoying to think this is the only man to be punished for the current economic environment.
Those at AIG blew through 3 times more and are only getting their allowance docked?
And this should be so where Cheney and Rove need to be Madoff neighbors.

He's got three hots and a cot. What is he complaining about? Half the world goes to bed hungry every night.

Still nicer than the typical Motel 6 room.

Don't be so naive! I don't believe this for a minute! It's obviously a trumped-up story to help take the edge off the hostility justifiably being directed at Madoff. No way he's being held in that cell. Show me a few hours of video surveillance feed. Then we'll talk.

I think you may be right ... And, next he will "d.i.e." and go live in Monaco or Argentina with Ken Lay.

Has he contacted Martha Stewart? She could give him some decorating pointers.

I don't believe anything of this. Either a stand-in is doing time for him or he's got himself a very luxuries cell they have for them rich people.

They need to take away the mattress, and replace it with nails....
