It's hard to say what will happen to Martin Shkreli in jail, but one thing's for sure: It won't be fun.
Prior to being locked up, the 34-year-old former pharmaceutical executive, had spent an inordinate amount of time online, live streaming his life and chatting with fans as he played with his cat "Trashy." Now he may have to share quarters with a fellow criminal -- and perhaps rodents -- and will have his computer use limited, with no access to social media.
Shkreli spent the first day in lock-up after a federal judge revoked his bail on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto found he posed an "ongoing danger or risk to the community" by posting a $5,000 bounty on Facebook for a strand of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's hair, an offer Shkreli later said was "a joke."
Far from the tame image of white-collar prison camps, the MDC is a tough place, said Vincent McCrudden, a former hedge fund manager and commodities trader who spent eight months there in 2012 and 2015. Like Shkreli, McCrudden's comments helped land him in jail. McCrudden, 56, posted online rants threatening public officials.

After all, The Shkrel by his very nature embodies the same kind of republican "family values" which (with lots of hidden help from russia) installed Comrade Casino* himself as the dauntlessly deceitful republican pResident and "family values" role model for GOP youth.
* republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.
