Β Patrick Cannon reported at summer camp today, that is to say, he reported to federal prison. Β But from what we can tell from the place he’s staying, there’s not a whole lot of difference between the two.
As we pointed out during WCCB News @ 10, Inmate 29396-058, known on the outside at ex-mayor Patrick Cannon, reported to the Federal Correctional Institution at Morgantown, West Virginia just before noon on Tuesday. Β And that will be his new home for the next 44 months.
And it looks to be quite the cozy little summer camp. Β Some people in the legal business even rank it was one of “the best places to go to prison”. Β In fact, one former inmate called it “Camp Cupcake”, with a commissary, unimposing fences, and some ability to get time off for family emergencies. Β It’s still prison, but it’s no Alcatraz.
And clearly , there are some people who think he’s getting off easy with this particular place. Β So our Man on the Edge, Robert Wilder, asked if Morgantown is really punishment…
