We just didn't want Bernie...Made off with my money! to escape his 15 minutes here. He plead guilty and faces up to 150 years in prison.
The picture from the New York Daily News picture says it best.
And 419 scammers and other white collar criminals take note, this could be your new home. And prison really is a pain the butt, not just metaphorically speaking.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving guy, except some major bank executives.

Bernie Madoff's hellhole: Ponzi schemer is caged 23 hours a day, gets bad food and few visitors (and couldn't happen to a more deserving guy, except some bank executives)
Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff is being held in a super-max wing of the Manhattan federal lockup - a unit so tough it drives hardened criminals mad, the Daily News has learned.
It's known as 10 South.
Located on the 10th floor of the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the high-security wing has housed the city's toughest mobsters and most bloodthirsty terrorists.
John A. (Junior) Gotti was there, as well as his archrival, Michael (Mikey Scars) DiLeonardo.
On 10 South, the 70-year-old Madoff is treated more like a lab rat than a vaunted Wall Street financier once entrusted with billions of investment dollars.
The lights burn 24 hours a day, and an inmate's every move is caught on video. Madoff gets just 60 minutes a day outside his 8-by-8-foot cell - in wrist shackles.
Windows are blacked out so disoriented inmates can't catch even a glimpse of the world outside.
What passes for food is slipped through a narrow slit in a stainless steel door that fronts a spartan cell - cold in winter, scorching hot in summer.
No interaction is permitted between inmates or guards. Only a ranking officer is allowed to remove a prisoner from his tiny cell.
Lawyer visits are few and far between. Reading material is almost nonexistent.
"He might even be sharing a cell with somebody, because he's a nonviolent prisoner," said onetime guard Louis Pepe, who was stabbed by a 10 South inmate in 2000.
"Everybody is watching him extra close," Pepe said.
The squalid conditions are enough to make blood-stained tough guys cry - never mind a pampered ex-billionaire.
Bonanno crime family capo Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano was moved off 10 South in 2005 after his lawyer complained of "subhuman" conditions.
Junior Gotti said his hard time in the MCC's most infamous section was brutal.
"I was in 10 South, and it almost broke me," Gotti famously roared.
Imagine its impact on a first-time offender used to a $7 million East Side penthouse with a bedroom drawer filled with cuff links and a $39,000 Steinway piano in the living room.
"I had a guy in there who went bonkers," said one veteran defense lawyer. "They had to take him out of there and give him sedatives."
Several sources confirm Madoff was visited by his lawyers in 10 South since his $10 million bail was revoked last week pending his June 16 sentencing.
When his lawyers hit court today, asking an appeals panel to restore his bail, Madoff won't accompany them. He'll remain inside his grim new home.
Lawyers say this could just be a way station for Madoff while prison officials gauge his physical and mental well-being.
Or it could be his home away from home for the months to come before he's shipped off to a faraway prison to serve a likely life sentence.
It was in 10 South in 2000 that a desperate terrorist named Mamdouh Mahmud Salim fashioned a tiny spear by sharpening a comb on the underside of a concrete desk in his cell before plunging it into Pepe's eye.
The comb penetrated Pepe's brain and permanently impaired his speech. Salim was convicted of conspiracy in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa that left 200 dead.
Among Madoff's neighbors is Syed Hashmi, a 28-year-old former Brooklyn College political science major accused of providing military gear to Al Qaeda terrorists overseas.
In recent months, Hashmi's lawyers tried unsuccessfully to get a federal judge to ease his restrictive prison conditions. In August, a prison video camera caught Hashmi shadow-boxing and practicing martial arts in his cell, federal prosecutors say.
"This type of confinement right now, I believe, is abominable," Hashmi lawyer Sean Maher told Judge Loretta Preska.
