Ron Kuby's Jailhouse Advice to Bernie Madoff

Air America radio host and attorney Ron Kuby had some advice for Ponz scum Bernie Madoff on his upcoming and personal "moist Oz-like scenario." We, too, have advice: get into solitary confinement, schnell! And stay away from the Nigerian with the little hat! Kuby's office has represented individuals accused of bombing the World Trade Center; Colin Ferguson, the Long Island Railroad gunman; and, among others, the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.

"The first piece of advice," said Kuby on his syndicated program, is that "prison is designed to be arbitrary...you have to live with the arbitrary system of the penal code. Period."

Kuby continued: "Whatever you were before...changes...most of your reputation [depends on] how you handle yourself in prison." Kuby, who has defended some highly controversial people and seen them as an attorney after some time behind bars, does allow that Madoff could conceivably buy a crew for protection. "I think that he may [be able to buy respect]," Kuby said later.

Kuby went further, "You gotta remember: respect." Respect in prison is key, said Kuby, illustrating that concept with an analogy about how getting up from table and having another man's tush at eye-level -- in civilized society -- might be dismissed with an apology, but could be a far more serious matter in the pokey.

"Hit the weights," Kuby concluded, "get into the weight room, work out."

Bernie Madoff just made the list as one of the worst people in the world at www.directedviolence.com go there and vote for him to get him to the top of the list. also, you can post comments about him there. Let the world know that this scumbags time on the streets is at an end!

Madoff will be wearing lipstick and a wig as soon as he is in general population.

If he gets 25 years,that's guaranteed maximum security prison. Hard time.

Although I don't have prison-life experience, it appears obvious that Madoff could be a made man in the prison system if he does something in particular:

TEACH

He is one of the most successful con men who has ever lived. He's known celebrities and some of the ultra-rich who are normally very careful with their money. He's smart. If he has a desire to teach others what he knows, he is going to be very popular.

[Cool-headed]

I can't believe he will be thrown in together with other men... No special privileges, not a cell for himself? Really? And what has he been doing with his days so far? Is there a library in that prison or somewhere he can spend his time?
