James Traficant release

James Traficant, the Ohio Democrat who was charged and imprisoned for racketeering and bribery, walked out of Minnesota jail after serving 7 years. At first it was quite an apprehensive moment for him as he expected an uneven welcome home at Ohio. But then, he made some startling revelations as he said that Govt. cheated against him to get bribery and racketeering conviction. The comment Sunday elicited a roar from the crowd of about 1,200 gathered at a banquet hall four days after Traficant was released from a federal prison in Minnesota as AP reports.

Then only yesterday, Trafficant said, life behind bars was “tough,” He said he was “put in a position to be hurt” at the federal prison in Allenwood, Pa., because it had many illegal immigrants unhappy with his idea of patrolling the Mexican border with troops.

With this startling discovery of how unsafe a prison life is, he further added that he didn’t get any normal procedural activities like other politicians while being behind the bars. All of that is in the story here,
Just-freed Traficant says he was put in position ‘to be hurt’ while in federal prison.
