Oh yeah, that's what they say to people who are going to jail for a long time:

"No problem buddy, when we find room for ya, we'll call."

No sh1t!! The only delay is in how good of a prison he can buy his way into. If there was any real justice in this world, they'd take all this guys money/assests and use it to reimburse his victims.

Skilling's Prison. I can't find a link that specifies which camp he's going to be in.

FCI Butner (Low)
P.O. Box 999
Butner, North Carolina 27509
919-575-5000
Fax: 919-575-5023
Security Level: Low/Male
Facility Code: BUF

FCI Butner (Medium)
P.O. Box 1000
Butner, North Carolina 27509
919-575-4541
Fax: 919-575-6341
Security Level: Medium/Administrative/Male (adjacent Minimum/Male camp)
Facility Code: BUT

CNN seems to think he's headed to the Medium Security prison. Definitely NOT a country club prison.
The entire FCI Butner complex, which includes two medium-security prisons - one of which could be where Skilling's sent - alongside a satellite camp that houses minimum security prisoners, has an inmate population of 3,366 and a staff population of 959, according to the bureau's 2005 annual report.
He get's to hang out with Duke Cunningham... LOL

I believe I read somewhere that white collar criminals who recieved over (x) number of years don't get to go to a minimum security prison. It seems like it was any sentence over 20 years?

On Monday, the 52-year-old Skilling was sentenced to serve 24 years and four months in prison, the harshest punishment by far in Enron's scandalous collapse. He was also ordered to liquidate his remaining assets which total $60 million. About $45 million will be put in a restitution fund for investors and employees who lost money when Enron failed and $15 million will go to cover his legal fees.

This guy is not getting off light. A virtual life sentence. All of his money gone. All of his assets gone. What more do you want? I hate the guy too but I'm not crying over this sentence.

I remember going to a bankruptcy auction back in the early 80's. This guy was so far in debt that he just walked away from his farm. I bought his pickup and guess what I found, a deposit slip for a bank in the town he moved to (out west) for $175,000. That was a boatload of money back then.

It's good that they took all of Skillings money/assests..... at least all that they can find. Something tells me this clown will be out of prison long before his 24 years are up and he will live very comfortably on the money he has hidden away.

So, do you know if he has to spend the whole 24 years or will he be able to get out in 10, 12, 15 years?

Under the current federal parole program he has to serve at least 85% of his sentence... 20.4 years. And that's if he is a model prisoner. At the earliest possible parole he'll be 73.

I keep saying it... He is getting what he deserves. The only complaint I can see is that he's not getting sent to a ****** enough prison.
