Michael Vick Not Just Chillin’, Apparently [Prison Blues]

February 28th, 2008

I have no idea how reliable this is, but the blog Media Takeout says it has information that Michael Vick is paying for protection in prison. A "family member" of someone who writes for the blog claims to have been in the general population with Vick at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary, where Vick is serving a 23-month prison term for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy.

According to our source, Mike Vick is having a difficult time fitting in. The insider explained, "Michael Vick is not in [administrative segregation] -- he's right there with the rest of the inmates. A few [inmates] stepped to him when he first got there but everything is cool now ... My [family member] says that he's paying a Mexican gang to keep him safe."

That's what happens when you refuse to assemble a prison football team to take on the guards.
