Mike Vick Prison Rumor... *Merge*

[WoodysGirl]

***Please note that it is a rumor***

I was listening to the radio on the way home and one of the guys said he'd heard a rumor that Vick wasn't in a country club prison like people think he's in. That he's in general population. And that when he first got there, there were a bunch of guys trying to make a name for themselves against him. So the rumor is that he's paying a mexican prison gang to watch his back while he's inside.

Again, I have no link to any of this, just something I heard on the radio. The guys were laughing that Vick couldn't run his way out of that and he better not run out of money.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Geneva, Ari]February 26, 2008. If you thought Mike Vick was in some kind of country club prison - you're wrong. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a person whose relative is currently incarcerated with Mike Vick in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary - in the same cell block. And according to our source, Mike Vick is having a difficult time fitting in.

The insider explained, "Michael Vick is not in [administrative segregation] - he's right there with the rest of the inmates. A few [inmates] stepped to him when he first got there but everything is cool now ... My [family member] says that he's paying a Mexican gang to keep him safe."

You know what ... we're not even gonna criticize him for that. Do what you gotta do Mike....[/FONT]

Well there you have it. Thanks BD for the backup. I'd just heard it on the radio and debated whether to post it.

I talk some sheriff friends of mine and they indicated that there is no way that Vick could be in general population. He will be isolated since they are in charge of his safety.

It's prison and not the local county jail. Mike Tyson was in gen pop and Tupac was in gen pop and so was James Brown the Godfather of Soul.

Michael Vick should be in gen pop and I suspect that he actually is in gen pop, regardless what the local deputies may think.

I didn't know he was in Leavenworth.

That's supposed to be a wicked bad prison. If memory serves, it used be a military prison before being converted to general federal criminals, but it's been a long time.

Apaprently there's also a military prison in Leavenworth, KS though the prison Vick is in was once a military prison as well.

Anyway, other famous folks who've been incarcerated at Leavenworth, according to wiki:

• George "Bugs" Moran, Irish gangster that battled Al Capone for the control of the Chicago Outfit
• Lawrence "Larry" Bilello, NYPD officer convicted of murder and Lucchese crime family mob associate
• Jimmy Burke who was sent to the prison for the first time at the age of eighteen in 1949 and once again in 1972 for extortion
• James J. Bulger, Irish-American gangster sent to Leavenworth for hijacking and bank robbing. He was shipped to Leavenworth out of Alcatraz.
• Fritz Joubert Duquesne - **** spy and leader of the Duquesne Spy Ring, the largest convicted espionage case in United States history.
• Victor Feguer - last federal fugitive executed before Timothy McVeigh
• Thomas James Holden - murderer and escapee, FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive #1, 1950
• Orba Elmer Jackson - escapee and post office robber, FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive #7, 1950
• George "Machine Gun" Kelly - Depression era gangster.
• Randy Lanier - 1986 Indy 500 rookie of the year.
• Felix Mitchell - notorious drug kingpin from Oakland, California. Stabbed to death in 1986 months into his prison term
• Byron "Bam" Morris - former NFL player, played in Super Bowl XXX
• Richard Case Nagell - the so-called "Man Who Knew Too Much"
• Carl Panzram - serial killer, autobiographer
• Leonard Peltier - American Indian political prisoner, convicted of murdering two FBI agents, FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive #335, 1975
• Leslie Isben Rogge - Bank robber, FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive #430, 1990
• Robert Stroud - became famous as the "Bird Man of Alcatraz"
• Thomas Silverstein - Regarded as one of the prison Bureau's most dangerous prisoners; was held in Leavenworth's basement in a "No Human Contact" Status
• Michael Vick - NFL quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, pleaded guilty to operating an unlawful six-year long interstate dog fighting venture known as "Bad Newz Kennels".[1]

Bam Morris, Leonard Peltier, and Machine Gun Kelly appear to be the most famous of them. Wonder if Vick has met Peltier?
