Ebbers Must Serve Time in Medium-Security Prison
Carrie Johnson writes in The Washington Post:
The federal Bureau of Prisons has ordered former WorldCom Inc. chief executive Bernard J. Ebbers to serve his 25-year prison term at a medium-security facility in Oakdale, La., rather than a less tightly guarded location closer to his home.
Federal officials made the decision even after U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones recommended that Ebbers, 63, be sent to a minimum-security prison in Yazoo City, Miss., near his family and friends. The Louisiana prison is 200 miles from Ebbers's hometown, defense lawyers said.
