Read the above Detroit News story about Kwame Kilpatrick's treatment by the Michigan Department of Corrections as he's being processed into prison and you decide about how he's being treated.
In an e-mail to the Detroit News, one of the prison guards, says the former Detroit mayor is being treated like a rock star.
But, the warden says, no way. She says that he's in an air-conditioned hospital room. But that's only because of his celebrity status.
After he's processed into the system, should he be put into general prison population?
Should he be treated like many of his former constituents in the prison system who suffer hugely for making much smaller mistakes?
