OH-Traficant: Immigration views posed risk in prison
Traficant: Immigration views posed risk in prison
Sept. 10, 2009 11:42 AM
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A former Ohio congressman who was freed after seven years in prison says he was put in jeopardy behind bars because of his views.
James Traficant (TRAF'-eh-kehnt) spoke in an interview to be broadcast Thursday night on the Fox News show "On The Record With Greta Van Susteren."
Traficant says life behind bars was "tough." He says was "put in a position to be hurt" at the federal prison in Allenwood, Pa., because it had many illegal immigrants unhappy with his idea of patrolling the border with troops.
The nine-term Democrat from Youngstown was released last week after serving time for racketeering, bribery, obstruction of justice and tax evasion.
The Bureau of Prisons says Traficant was treated like any other inmate.
