Marshals move Parish from jailStaff report
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Convicted investment manager Al Parish was moved out of the Charleston County Detention Center by the U.S. Marshals Service on Monday. The transfer shortly before 9 a.m. was confirmed by the detention center. The marshals service declined to discuss Parish's status. For security reasons, the agency does not discuss movement of prisoners until after they reach a destination. Parish, 50, was sentenced last month to a 24 1/3-year federal prison term for committing fraud against hundreds of investors. Immediately after issuing the sentence, Chief Judge David Norton ordered that Parish be taken into custody, saying he was "concerned with him hurting himself." Parish had been at the detention center about 10 days. Parish requested to be housed at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina, though any prison assignment will take into consideration his poor health, which includes heart ailments. The former Charleston Southern University economist pleaded guilty in a massive case of investor fraud in which nearly 600 people lost more than $66 million. |

I find it reassuring that Al Parish’s cloak of -- “public respectability” -- was stripped from him and he was brought to justice on his frauds.
One’s high position and social status is never a mitigating factor in fraud—if anything it makes their fraud even more heinous.
Now that this damnable fraud (Parish) is safely tucked away where he righteously belongs ..... perhaps we can move on to cleaning up another viper’s nest of frauds slithering around the Charleston County Family Court.

According to t.v. news, Parish was sent someplace in Georgia for treatment. Yoder and kids are already living in North Carolina. Wonder when Parish will get there? At this rate, he will never actually begin to serve his sentence.

Parish is already serving his sentence. despite the nonsensical comment by SQJ. He is in jail now, even if he has not reached his destination prison.
If Lilly is going to make libelous remarks about the FC, he/she should be specific. What are you talking about?

LOL. My remarks are not libelous -- they are well documented by actual court records.
If anyone is interested in what I am saying all they have to do is click on my name and read my prior comments. Its all there Jack.

I don't think it's right that he can pick and choose his prison, if he goes to Butner, he's got it made and is in good company, got one of the best medical care facilities etc. look here--the guy is not stupid, he knows why he picked, what he picked:

They need to send him out to Maricopa County and Sherrif Joe's tent prison. There he can sweat his lard a** off in his pink boxers. That would be nothing compared to the lives he ruined with his greed. His wife ought to be going with him.

He will go where they have a bed. If he is sick they will send him to the Dr. You don't choose your prison. Look at Michael Vick. He lived in Ga and they sent him to KS to serve his time.

He will never spend time in the regular General population in a prison such as Lieber, they know he would not make it, he will have a very easy stay and be babied as much as possible due to his health problems in a white collar type facility.

How can he have heart problems and he doesn't have a heart?
