    Graterford is no Rahway. Rahway is right up there with the worse. But no prison is fun, I suspect. I once fought as amember of a Chicago Amature team against the Pontiac (Illinois) Prison Boxing Team in the 50's. Could not wait to get out of there. Bad dudes.

    Thats one of the things I respect about him,most guys treat a sentence like that as an excuse to become an even worse person then the one that got sentenced in the first place.
    Not him,he became a vegetarian,a family man,and the most notorious gym rat thats ever lived. He brushed himself off,and became way more then most people ever strive for.

    Yes, that is worthy of the highest respect. Thing is, he walks the walk.
