But the wheels of justice turn slowly, so even with Lay's conviction last week, it may be a while before Lockyer gets his wish.
Still, here's how that first day in prison may ultimately turn out.
June 25, 2009
With all appeals finally exhausted and no beds at minimum-security "Club Fed" prisons available, Lay is assigned to medium-security prison for 20 years. At this exclusive address, license plates, not plates du jour, are the creations.
8:05: Lay meets cellmate Leon "Bonecrusher" Smith, serving 20-30 for armed robbery and carjacking. "Lay is NOT a good name to have in prison," the blue-collared white-collar criminal is told. Lay is consoled by the fact that he's the smartest guy in THIS room, although certainly not the most athletic.
9:30: Lay's spirits boosted when he notices that the cell's sole TV has cable. Asks cellmate if it gets religion channels. Is brusquely informed it only gets "Cops," pro wrestling, and something called "The Metalworking Channel." Is told to shut pie hole.
