He said, for example, that at chow time if Konigsberg saw something on an inmate's tray that he liked he would just reach over and take it. Nobody messed with him.<br /><br />The former guard told me he had a personal run-in with Konigsberg, which was also mentioned in the article, where Konigsberg hired a local photographer to drive by the guard's house and take pictures of his wife and kids which he then used as threats. There were even a few cryptic letters to the editor of a Springfield newspaper about the tension in the prison and Kayo's attempts to extort favors from the guards.<br /><br />I was surprised to learn the man was still around at this late date. I guess the medical services rendered by the feds must be pretty good.Santa Flawsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408697780311463036.post-30696426241162101522014-12-31T17:52:39.493-05:002014-12-31T17:52:39.493-05:00I'll call you after the holiday -- it's be...I'll call you after the holiday -- it's been a frigging mess here!!!!Ed Scarpohttp://www.cosanostranews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408697780311463036.post-30537460639018737522014-12-25T06:58:48.700-05:002014-12-25T06:58:48.700-05:00Hey Pal, I didn't realize you texted me until ...Hey Pal, I didn't realize you texted me until this morning..that was very thoughtful..Thank You!
