The charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail, ... This is an agreed-upon disposition where you could be sentenced to eight years or less.

What does he have to lose? If I'm going to jail for the maximum sentence, I can laugh and smirk and do whatever. You're still going to give me the same 200 years.

The charges were put on a back burner as long as he agreed to stay out of trouble for six months. If he could stay out of trouble for six months, the case would be dismissed.

I don't expect any kind of charges,

Prison is designed to separate, isolate, and alienate you from everyone and everything. You're not allowed to do so much as touch your spouse, your parents, your children. The system does everything within its power to sever any physical or emotional links you have to anyone in the outside world. They want your children to grow up without ever knowing you.They want your spouse to forget your face and start a new life. They want you to sit alone, grieving, in a concrete box, unable even to say your last farewell at a parent's funeral.

Mr. Kushner should serve the entire federal prison sentence just as he agreed to when he pleaded guilty.
