An ex-financial firm CEO who was sent to an upstate New York prison for his role in the college admissions scandal is asking to be set free — because life behind bars is “torture.”
Ex-Pimco honcho Douglas Hodge — who paid more than $850,000 in bribes to get his kids into elite universities — is demanding to be allowed to serve the remainder of his 9-month sentence at home, theBoston Herald reported.
In his bid for “compassionate release,” Hodge, 62, argues that being locked up amid the pandemic is “torture under United Nations guidelines,” according to according to court documents cited by the paper.
Hodge checked into federal prison in Otisville on June 23 — and claims he was forced to suffer through 29 days of solitary quarantine, according to the report. He claims his sentence should either be reduced, or that he should be allowed to do time at his personal pad.

Otisville is a cakewalk among prisons. Lots of fresh air and a nice view of the Catskills.

ReplyDeleteNeed to send him to a real prison. How many lives did he destroy by buying his kids future and destroying a deserving individual the same future. Money talks so maybe he can find a Democrat judge to make a deal. 😂😂😂
