Bush Friend Ken Lay Convicted in Enron Scandal

Now it will be interesting to see where this guy will go to Prison. Will he go to real prison with the rest of the criminals or will he get some kind of special treatment for being a rich, politically connected slob? These rich bastards usually go to the facilities referred to as "Club Fed"...a play on the name of the legendary "Club Med" vacations. These are prison facilities that are not run like Prisons at all. They are run like dormitories, and the "inmates" get all sorts of priviledges, just like they had before entering the facility. But that remains to be seen. Article.

However, not long after his conviction, he was reportedly on vacation in Aspen Colorado. Looks like he's already getting special treatment. A regular American (the rest of us) would not have all of these options.
