Jay
Cohen was released from Nellis Federal Prison Camp on March 22, 2004 and is now
serving a 30 day stint in a federal halfway house in Oakland, California. He expects
to be released from the halfway house on April 22, 2004, following which he will
start serving two years of probation. Jay continues to press that his conviction
was improper and hopes to clear his name, once and for all. Jay
cannot have visitors at the halfway house, so there is no visitation. |
