Like father, like son...

New York Post:

Dean and Adam Skelos set to begin prison sentences

Convicted ex-state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and his son Adam are set to turn themselves in on Tuesday to begin serving their prison sentences for public corruption.

The father and son, who are now estranged, were found guilty at their retrial last year of using Dean’s powerful position in Albany to muscle no-show jobs and cash payments for Adam.

The 70-year-old Long Island Republican was hit with a more than four-year sentence, which he’s expected to serve at Otisville, a medium-security federal lockup in upstate New York.

The elder Skelos left his home in Rockville Centre at around 9 a.m., coffee in hand and wearing a blue New York Giants zip-up sweatshirt. His wife, Gail, was alongside him, her hands full with a brown folder and their dog, Rocky.

If you have any fines or restitution this means you are now going to be coerced to work in UNICOR for 25 cents an hour to make things which now, thanks the the new Criminal Justice 'Reform' bill can be be sold by UNICOR, a privately-held entity, to non-governmental markets.

You're now officially a participant in the prison slave-labor industry...welcome.

We can eliminate private prisons if we require that anyone who votes for them has to spend 6 months in one.
