Sir Robert Allen Stanford complains of his life on the D-Block

More

While Sir Robert Allen Stanford sits in jail awaiting news on what will become of his alleged $7 billion Ponzi scheme, he's doing quite a bit of complaining.

Bloomberg reports that "For the past week, Stanford, who's in a cell in Conroe, Texas, with from eight to 10 other men, has endured heat and intermittent lack of power when outside temperatures reached 100 degrees or more, his lawyer, Dick DeGuerin, said yesterday in a motion asking that his client be transferred to a downtown Houston jail." The filing also noted that one of the men Stanford is sharing a cell with is diabetic and another has a heart condition.

Of course there will be no transfer requests for those two -- That's only for people with enough allegedly stolen money to hire expensive lawyers.

DeGuerin referred to Sir Stanford's "suffering" and complained that the lack of electronic access in the jail makes it impossible for him to prepare for his trial. The Justice Department has said it will respond in the appropriate court filings.

Reading the description from the filing, the conditions in the jail do indeed sound appalling and inhumane. 100 degrees? Of course, we know Sir Stanford would never exaggerate about numbers.
