Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I'm sure he'll get the special politician's prison, not something like Marion.  Wherever Illinois ex-governors go.

That.

We used to fly over Lompoc Prison Camp when we went down to Vandenberg to do pilot training out of Moffett Field. Right off the starboard wing, I could look down and see them hanging out in the yard at the picnic tables or playing basketball. Every now and then they would be standing on the grass, I later found out they had lawn bowling there. I heard that it had later been demoted from a Club Fed prison to a medium security prison with real inmates.
