Some people who go to prison find religion. Some discover literature. But former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, who spent a total of 12 days behind bars, says he found
“street cred” as a Trump ally.
Papadopoulos told MSNBC host Ari Melber Tuesday evening that during his jail stint, he was treated like a “fighter” and a bit of a celebrity because the prison was located in the heart
of “Trump country.”
Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty in October 2017 for lying to the FBI, revealed earlier Tuesday that he is currently seeking a pardon from President Trump and his “lawyers have
formally submitted an application.” He also said he’s considering withdrawing the guilty plea he gave in the Mueller investigation as he now believes he “misspoke to the FBI.”
Towards the end of his interview with Melber, Papadopoulos—who has a new book out—was asked what it was like for him in prison and how he was treated by the other inmates.
“They considered me as [a political celebrity] and as a fighter and that counts for street cred when you get into a place like that even though I was dealing with a lot of doctors, lawyers,
businessmen involved in similar crimes like Paul Manafort or Michael Cohen, so it wasn’t a dangerous place,” Papadopoulos stated.
No reason not to confess, they'll love you! get it when the getting's good!
You don't have "street cred" in a fucking white collar prison

Then you went to the wrong prison
You're telling me white collar criminals go to different prisons? Now that is some bullshit.
Well, yeah. You expect them to lock up embezzlers, fraudsters, and money launderers with those dangerous drunk drivers and weed smokers?
Yeah, they get sent to Federal Prison Camps, which are the lowest form of security run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Some prison camps don't even have fences or anything to detain you, allow you to sign out and leave for a short time, and have chapels / schools / various recreational facilities. They're used for inmates with high standing who've committed white collar crimes, people who would have no flight risk because that would mean asset seizures, ruined reputations, shitty fugitive lifestyle, and being sent to a real prison when recaptured.
