Pharma bro fraudster Martin Shkreli sent to federal prison in New Jersey after being denied minimum security camp"Pharma bro" scammer Martin Shkreli has been sent to a federal prison in New Jersey to serve the remainder of his seven-year sentence after being denied his request for a minimum-security federal camp.
Shkreli, who had been in a Brooklyn federal jail since September, was shipped Tuesday to the low-security Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, according to the Bureau of Prisons.
The prison is located on the U.S. military base at Fort Dix, about 80 miles from New York City, where Shkreli lived, and 30 miles from Philadelphia. It houses 3,945 inmates.
Shkreli, 35, in March had asked to be sent to the minimum-security camp adjacent to another federal prison in Pennsylvania, FCI Canaan.

He should not do his time in any minimum facility. The punishment should be equal to the crime.
I believe this in every case except for the death penalty. To me thats barbaric act for a so called advanced society. Murduring someone as punishment for murder is just as criminal as what the murderer did.
