Wesley Snipes enters prison in Pennsylvania yesterday to serve a three-year sentence for tax evasion—and though the minimum-security McKean prison camp isn’t exactly a five-star resort, it’s not as bad as it could be. The AP gives details on what his life will be like:
- No fences: But he will submit to five daily head counts, three of which are overnight.
- Living quarters: He’ll have a two-man room in the barracks, where the other 300 nonviolent inmates live.
- Daily schedule: Wake-up time is 6:35am, and jobs are performed for seven hours per day.
- Conjugal visits: He’ll have to limit himself to just a kiss in the visitors room.
- Money: He can earn pennies an hour by doing laundry or other chores, and is allowed to spend $290 a month at the commissary.
- Entertainment: Double-feature movies are shown Friday through Sunday, but no R-, NC-17-, or X-rated films are screened.
- Exercise: Sand volleyball, indoor basketball, exercise machines, badminton, bocci, and bridge will be available to him.
- Medical facilities: The copay at the infirmary is only $2.
- Church: Almost any group you can think of, including Wiccans, hold weekly meetings.
