In an email to friends, convicted ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff bemoaned his fate — to spend the next several years of his life in a minimum security prison within visiting distance for his family.
“This nightmare has gone on for almost three years so far,” Abramoff wrote in an e-mail obtained by the Associated Press, “and I expect we are not even half way through.”
(It’s not clear why the former GOP power broker, who faces at least nine years in prison, thought his “nightmare” might end in three years.)
Abramoff told friends that “unfortunately, things are going to get worse (starting today no doubt) before they get better,” a reference to this first day of his imprisonment at the Federal Correctional Institution in Cumberland, Md.
