Ha! Sammy wants to go to Club Fed.

Elgin the white-collar prison known as 'Club Fed'. Elgin Federal Prison in Fort Walton has no bars or fences and offers yoga classes, tennis courts and sunbathing. It was rated as the best place to serve a sentence by the business magazine Forbes.

There's a whole new breed of scum-bag lawyers who arrange nice digs for these convicted fat-cat swindlers, drug dealers, politicians etc.

As The New York Times reported recently, in the past decade dozens of consultants have opened up shop to fulfill one of society's grand needs: sentence mitigation for white-collar crime.

These "post-conviction specialists" will act like Hollywood agents for wealthy executives -- or anyone who has tens of thousands of dollars to fork over -- negotiating prison time and wheeling and dealing to get the best cells or the "prison" that has tennis courts, etc.

Ya do the crime, ya do the time....ain't so bad if ya gotta dime I guess.
