By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JIM MUSTIAN 21 minutes ago
NEW YORK (AP) The Situation and the Fyre Festival fraudster are already there. President Donald Trumps former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, is up next.
Its not reality TV. Its a federal prison 70 miles (113 kilometers) from New York City where white-collar and D-list scoundrels can do time while playing bocce ball and noshing on rugelach.
Cohen, 53, is due to report Monday to the Federal Correctional Institution, Otisville to start a three-year sentence for tax evasion, lying to Congress and campaign finance crimes.
Tucked in the lush countryside south of the Catskill Mountains, Otisville is actually two federal facilities with a total of about 800 inmates: a medium-security prison where former NFL star Darren Sharper is serving a 20-year rape sentence, and a satellite camp for non-violent offenders like Cohen.

(32,917 posts)He has the New York accent that thugs all relate to, and he grew up with the Russian mob. So Michael knows how to relate to those guys. We shouldn't feel sorry for this - he got what he deserves. He'll be out in a few years.
