I WAS JUST REEASED FROM OTISVILLE FCI
August 12, 2010 6:58 am

R’ Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin is being held in the “medium – high” security section of Otisville where he will be the only observant Jew amongst a population of violent criminals. There are 40 jews [25 heimishe Yidden] in Otisville’s “satellite camp”, [total population 110, mostly white collar, all with 10 years or less left on their sentences] which I was just released from [after serving 6 months on a probation violation for paying child support late]. There they have a sefer Torah, minyanim and shiurim daily. The “medium – high” at Otisville had gang riots and stabbings while i was… Read more »

A chosid makes his sevivah. Watch how Otisville becomes a chassidishe dirah b’tachtonim.

You are correct. All the yidden are in the minimum security “camp’ & have kosher facilities, minyanim, shiurim etc. Sholom mordechai is in the “medium security” jail, behind bars etc. We need to keep davening for his geula !

We must all learn a very important lesson

The US has very daconian sentancing laws. In Canada maybe he would get 5 years and be out in 16 months on good behavior.The jails are full of criminals,and yes he is a criminal,who will spent many years away from his comunity. What is needed is a comunity effert to stop this gross injustice so all can retourn home ater a resonable time in jail…

Thank G-d for small miracles!!
August 4, 2010 10:43 am

The machsheifa could have left him in hicktown, usa. In Otisville he’ll have minyanim, kosher food and everything that a frum jew needs while in jail. May the appeal be successful!

Well it's a bit more comforting knowing there's 59 other yiddin with him.
August 4, 2010 10:27 am

Shouldn’t be too long, just hang in there.

I’m sorry to sound ignorant…but what does “white collar” inmates and “medium security” mean. Does it mean that SMR can walk around the prison freely. i only hope the guards don’t watch every little thing he does. C’V they find a “reason” to put him somewhere else. I say tehillim every day that he should be released and be with his family,like thousands of other people around the world.

Geula NOW

Having visited Otisville (for a baal teshuvah) many times, I am sure that there will be (or is already) a shiur chassidus. His short stay there will leave a royshem of what a real chosid is.

This will be much better for Rubashkin!

amen
August 3, 2010 11:23 pm

Getzy Rubashkin said he is praying that the appeal is successful and that “with Hashem’s help my father won’t be there for long.”
