Chris Maselli and Jeff Smith seemed to have it all – at one point. But it all came crashing down spectacularly for both of them.
Maselli was an up-and-coming State Senator in Rhode Island and Jeff Smith, having gained a"cult like following", was running to be a state senator in Missouri.For Smith, it was in 2009 when he plead guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice for lying about improper payment for campaign flyers. He was sentenced to a year and a day in prison. For Maselli, it was in 2011 when he was sentenced to 27 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to eight counts of bank fraud.
Smith, who served his time at FCI Manchester, Kentucky, said he didn't go into prison with a lot of preconceived notions even though he had visited a lot of prisons when he was a state senator. "That was the other thing the prison was famous for, if you were a cook on the outside, they wouldn't put you in the kitchen and make you cook meals. They'd have you cutting grass and they'd have the guy who cut grass, cook the meals," Maselli explained. After six months, he moved to the education department where he would teach English to non-English speakers.
"Because of the bonding, you know, the bonds are forged with with other prisoners through sport and to get a psychological escape," he said. "Since white collar criminals, especially ones with fame, you know, the details of their case are so widely known often, a 'rat is a rat is a rat' rule can bite them," Smith explained.
