A different kind of favorites list

prison golf.jpgThe ever-observant Ellen Podgor points us to this interesting Paul Wenske/Kansas City Star article that reports on the increasing role of advisors to indicted business executives providing advice on the preferred location for the executives to serve their prison sentence. According to the article, the following are the top five-preferred locations for serving a white collar prison sentence in the federal system:

Yankton, S.D. A stand-alone federal prison camp that is a converted college campus.
Englewood, Colo. Just outside Denver, it is a satellite camp to the federal correctional institution there.
Texarkana, Texas. Has drug and alcohol treatment and offers adult continuing education and correspondence courses.
Sheridan, Ore. In the heart of the south Yamhill River Valley near Portland. Offers college programs.
Pensacola, Fla. Inmates can work during the day at a nearby naval base.
