Regional Bell operating Companies, informally known as Baby Bells. EXCLUSIVE Blago His Life in Prison. Above Our photo of Rod Blagojevich is anything but traditional. Since Chicago wasnt allowed inside the ex governors prison, he rented a camera from the commissary and had it shot himself. Rod Blagojevichs first summer in prison was, he recalls, quite an awakening. He had arrived at the low security prison in Jefferson County, Colorado, about 1. Denver, in the spring, when there was still a mountain chill in the air. Chicago Hits 320' title='Chicago Hits 320' />But that year, 2. Denver experienced its hottest summer on record. From June through July, the city endured 1. Two days reached 1. At the time, Blagojevich was housed in a dorm room with nearly 1. The room was essentially a long, narrow hallway, partitioned into 1. Metal bunks lined the walls, jammed in tight. Blagojevich slept on a top bunk. It was extremely close quarters, he notes. With no privacy. Just a lot of men with a lot of noisebad sounds and bad smells. Blagojevich is telling me this story in an email. It is the first time since being incarcerated more than five and a half years ago that he has been interviewed. The facility didnt have air conditioning, either, he continues. The heat was oppressive. Sleeping in that heat was almost impossible. To cool down, he employed a prison trick. He emptied out the contents from the plastic bag of cereal he purchased from the commissary and filled it with ice right before evening lockdown. I eagerly embraced that cold bag of ice to try to sleep, in much the same way you would hug a hot water bottle in the wintertime. My jurisdiction was once all of Illinois. Now I have two hallways to clean. Prison officials brought in several large fans and placed them around the room, but there werent enough to make much difference. And though the officials positioned the fans to blow in the direction of the common areas, some inmates had other ideas. Download Allergen Control Program Sample. Invariably, late at night, with the lights off and only one prison guard on duty, a Hobbesian state of nature emerged, Blagojevich says. The biggest and toughest inmates, he remembers, would turn the fans to blow toward themselves. The combination of the oppressive heat and 1.

Terrence Antonio JamesChicago Tribune. For many of us, the last images we carry of Rod Blagojevich were from March 1.

He was immediately surrounded by a scrum of reporters, many of whom had besieged his house for days, and well wishers who had spent the night waiting on the corner of Sunnyside Avenue. Wearing a dark polo, a navy blazer, blue jeans, and black running shoes, Blagojevich worked his way through the crowd to the car as reporters bombarded him with questions Governor, what did you say to your daughters Did you get any sleep last night What are you thinking nowPhoto Courtesy of Chicago Tribune. Not one to pass up a microphone, Blagojevich stopped and quickly addressed the crowd. Ill see you guys when I see ya, he called out, then ducked into the car, which whisked him away. Later that day, just before the noon deadline, he would surrender to authorities at the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood. Waving one last time to the news helicopters, he walked with his lawyers slowly down a long sidewalk, the tall razor wire fencing looming just feet away. He entered the administration building and then all but vanished from the face of the earth. Five years, two months, and eight days later, on a May afternoon, a call with a 3. My phone interview with Rod Blagojevich, Inmate 4. But its only 1 5. Rod Blagojevich, early While governor, he was chronically and unapologetically late for events, if he showed up at all. He was maddeningly AWOL from Springfield and often absent, too, from his Chicago office in the Thompson Center. But here he wasearlyon the other end of the line. Weeks before, Blagojevich had agreed to an in person visit, but officials at FCI Englewood denied the request they said it posed a security threat to the facility and the inmate but didnt elaborate. They allowed instead two telephone interviews a 3. May which was extended an extra 1. July. Those conversationsas well as six lengthy emails Blagojevich sent me via his lawyer and several interviews with his wife, Pattioffer detailed glimpses into his life behind bars, his relationship with his wife and two daughters, and his thoughts on his future. Given their history with the news media, Blagojevich and Patti were at first wary of granting the interviews. But once they did, they talked casually and candidly. The famously high energy Blagojevich seems to have mellowed during his time in prison, though he and Patti were obviously strategic about what they chose to reveal and what stories they told. Blagojevich requested only one topic be off limits his criminal case. Leave that, he says, to his lawyers. He doesnt want to antagonize any judges while his case is technically still pending he plans to file a last ditch appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court.

If it werent for the guards armed with assault rifles and the razor wire encircling it, one might mistake FCI Englewood for a suburban high school, albeit a rather ugly one. The concrete buildings are institutional beige, and on the grounds are ball fields, tennis courts, and a track.

To the south, directly across the street, are tidy residential subdivisions, with a Costco and Walmart just down the road. Its as if a penitentiary were dropped in the center of Pleasantville. On the same campus is the less restrictive minimum security prison camp where Blagojevich was transferred in November 2. Blagojevich asked to serve his time at FCI Englewood for several reasons. For starters, its one of the few federal prisons to house both low security and minimum security facilities. This is important because it makes it quicker and easier for inmates to transfer from one to the other once they are eligible. Second, while there are several low security prisons much closer to Chicago, FCI Englewoods proximity to Denvers airport actually makes it easier for Blagojevichs family to visit. Third, as Patti Blagojevich points out, Forbes once ranked FCI Englewood among the 1.
