"Huh"

His punishment should have been this guy, though, following him around for the rest of his days... (coincidentally, a lot of soccer money is laundered through Antigua)

There was an interview printed in Harpers, now hosted here, with a Riker's Island prison guard. It's really a fucked-up prison system we have in this country. Nobody ought to be subjected to it.
Anyway, it's edifying to learn what the difference between a "telephone cut" and a "Buck Fifty" is (clue: one requires less stitches).

The idea that prisoners "deserve what they get" is the same kind of inhumane thinking that creates those kinds of prisoners in the first place.

Absolutely right. I can't stand this guy, but he is entitled to the presumption of innocence. Everyone should be protected from violence, but the notion that someone awaiting trial can be abused like that is scary.

It's a relatively simple thing for the bureaucrats to take care of. They should go to each prison, interview the prisoners and ask each and every one whether s/he were sexually abused. In those prisons in which there are more than five incidents, they should fire the warden. That will take care of things pretty quickly.
I'm friending you by the way. Too many people on Gawker treat prison rape as a joke, or think of it as an acceptable punishment. Most of them, I might add, in a brilliant feat of reason, quickly turn around and call for Roman Polanski to be executed.

I'm sure if someone on the outside makes calls on their behalf to newspapers and is enough of a (polite) pest at Congressional offices, one prisoner at a time has a remote chance at getting his/her grievances redressed.

This "Almost Island" (3.5 ac. Approx) is as near as you can get to having your island without the million dollar outlay. The land mass is situated on an island, on a point with a narrow portion where the land mass joins the main part of the island.... The island has a small village of friendly natives who are an economical source of labor when needed."

You know Tonga is in the Pacific not the Caribbean, right? Polynesia, I think. Of course, the only reason I know this is because I was a fan of The Tongan Kid.

But, alas, he did not put on the condom of fiduciary responsibility.

Apparently a year or two earlier the magazine had sent a reporter to follow him around for a legit profile about an interesting billionaire who funds cricket and runs the island of Antiqua like his personal fiefdom. Then they apparently later realized this guy is Mini-Madoff and turned it into a hit piece, which Sanford made incredibly easy by openly admitting to being a raging asshole.
That's some journalism efficiency!
