'Mr Mayor': Michael Cohen treated like 'celebrity' in prison

President Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen is said to be thriving behind bars.

“People wish Michael Cohen is getting beaten up every day in prison — but he’s literally the mayor of the prison. He’s doing great: The other inmates call him ‘Mr Mayor,’” his attorney David Schwartz told the New York Post. “He’s a celebrity in the jail. Everybody is coming up and shaking his hand. He’s enjoying hanging out with the other inmates,” he said.

Schwartz said Cohen, 53, has a job fixing fire hydrants at the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, located about 70 miles outside of New York City. The prison’s satellite camp, where Cohen is incarcerated, has about 120 inmates who live in dormitories with personal cubicles that have a bed, nightstand, and desk.

“He really enjoys his work. He looks great — he is tan, works out every day and has lost more than 30 pounds,” Schwartz said. “He is basically very unstressed. The only downside is he misses his family.”

Cohen began his three-year prison sentence in May. He pleaded guilty in December to a handful of crimes, including bank fraud, lying to Congress, and illegal campaign contributions.

He lives in prison, following their rules and he cannot leave.  That is what prison is - you cannot leave.  No matter people like him in prison, he cannot leave.  He cannot direct his own life for three years, he cannot leave.
