Idle time no answer, even in prison
The story of 90-year old Ian Thiermann is the reason it doesn't really do much good to send people like Bernie Madoff in sit in prison, even if they are tried and convicted. Prison time provides no restitution to those hurt by these schemes. This 90-year old man will struggle to provide for he and his family while our tax dollars go to provide free room and board for anyone convicted in this matter.
