Ex-NY police commissioner arrives at prison to begin sentence

He said he made his two daughters watch the movie "Rocky Balboa" for the scene in which Sylvester Stallone's character tells his son that the world can be an unfair place but one has to persevere.

Bernard Kerik, on blog "As I prepare to serve my sentence, I have had to likewise prepare Angelina and Celine, my 7- and 10-year-old daughters for what is next to come, and had to teach them that there are times when we are put in situations which are beyond our control and that no matter how undeserved, unsought, or unwanted, we must find the strength, courage, and perseverance to carry on and move forward."

Kerik, 54, pleaded guilty in November to tax fraud and six other felonies. He has been under house arrest in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, since then.

In court papers, prosecutors said Kerik denied to a White House official that there was "any possible concern" about his relationships with contractors involved in renovating his apartment or that he had any financial dealings with prospective city contractors.

3. Oh the irony! Rudy had renamed a Manhattan jail known as "The Tombs" after Kerik.
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani joined Correction Commissioner William J. Fraser today at a dedication ceremony during which the Manhattan Detention Complex, better known as "The Tombs," was renamed The Bernard B. Kerik Complex.

The ceremony was held to honor Bernard Kerik, the former Correction Department Commissioner and current Commissioner of the New York Police Department. Joining the Mayor at the ceremony was Commissioner Kerik and members of his family.

I gather that the name has been changed back since then. :rofl:
