Many prisoners work 7 1/2 hours each day, five days a week, scrubbing floors, and cutting grass for pay ranging from 16 cents to 40 cents per hour. The prison's dormitory-style houses are similar to a military barracks, said U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokesman Dan Dunne.

Country club? Get real. Inmates are placed where appropriate. Waksal doesn't appear to be a flight risk and I doubt he's got a violent streak mean enough to displace a murderer or rapist in maximum security prison.

I agree. At least one of them actually went to jail.
