`Miami RRM` isn't quite a federal prison. These two would die in a supermax prison if there were any justice.

Wouldn’t it be grand if they were sentenced to general population? Maybe even along side some of the people they wrongly imprisoned over the years?

Of course these are ole, rich, white, federal judges - not the kind of people we’d want to subject to real prison life.

Federal minimal security has been known as 'club fed' as long as I've been alive.

Part of being rich, powerful, and connected means they will live in private cells with tv, internet, phone, all the amenities of home if in prison.

These two are going to a halfway home for rich people instead of prison and we are supposed to accept it as a reasonable punishment.

More fuel for the fire.

Edit-prison clarification

This comment belongs on reddit, not here.

Do you have an actual argument to offer?

The judges and prisons sold out society, and imprisoned innocent children, destroying their lives in many cases.

Everyone involve deserves the maximum possible punishment, if only as an example to others. Instead, the people who ran the prison pay a fine, and the judges go to a nice prison for a few years.
