For all you who clicked on this post, thinking that we finally have an exclusive prison for white-collar crimes on Wall Street, I'm sorry, that didn't happen (yet). But there is an ex-military prison just one mile away from Wall Street on Governor's Island in Castle William (Surprise?). It was built in 1807 of red sandstone on Governor’s...

It was about 9 am on Sunday morning. We heard the sound of Scottish pipes coming from the Battery Tunnel. We peeped our heads out of the window and saw hundreds of people holding flags, lining neatly along the entrance of the tunnel. Each person in the line had a cloth picture hanging from the neck....
