Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik was transferred to a special Westchester County Jail unit after displaying "symptoms" that troubled prison psychiatrists, officials said Friday.

Neither Kerik's lawyers nor prosecutors would discuss the specifics, but Federal Judge Stephen Robinson said there was concern over Kerik's behavior.

"There were symptoms that he displayed that, when combined with circumstances, they felt placed him at risk," Robinson said in a hearing in White Plains.

"Their concerns were not ordinary. There were things described to me that were either said or done that raised a level of concern for them."

And this was the crooked jerk Bush wanted to make head of Homeland Security!

1. Bernie knows how to play the system. Play "crazy-like" and get

moved out of noisy general population. He's a crook, not a dope..

[FarPoint]

7. I believe that jail for a white collar guy

would indeed be devastating and depressing. I can see that suicidal thinking being a real occurrence.

What life changing harm has Bernie done to others to where it's acceptable to encourage suicide or discount the mental illness?

I wish no harm myself.

[No Elephants]

12. Yet, many white collar guys who were not as familiar with prisons as a Police

Commissioner might be do their time without exhibiting any symptoms of insanity.

Who's encouraging him to commit suicide?

And since when is life-changing harm to others a requirement for doubting the sincerity of someone like Kerik?

[Posteritatis]

19. And quite a few would break like a dropped egg

Your level of shelteredness and/or entitlement going into it would be a factor one way or another. I could see quite a few people pulling a Paris Hilton at the idea of being in prison even if their working environment really doesn't give them an excuse to.

11. I doubt that you could fool a prison psychiatrist

They've seen it all.

17. you got his number.

this is a guy who was also nyc's commissioner of prisons. looked away while his minions looted riker's island prison of some artworks - assuming he didn't plan it in the first place. his psychological problems might have something to do with being incarcerated in the midst of his former corrections dept. clientele.

plus - a graduate of the rudy giuliani school of sympathy whoring.

got a korean girl pregnant while he was an mp in the korean war; then abandoned the girl & his daughter - while spouting the usual con religious babble about a mistake he will always regret & hope that he can make it up to his daughter someday.

the facade might fool some; but this asshole's a piece of work.

2. You and I? Frightened, anxious, panicked, fearful, saying and doing crazy things. . .

"Get in that cell, jackass!"

[AllentownJake]

3. A former Police Commissioner is scared for his life and acting crazy in prison

I'd be concerned for his sanity if he was acting sane.

6. ^

[wilt the stilt]

5. waterboard him

that'll calm him down

[MineralMan]

8. That GWB tried to make him head of Homeland Security

is the main issue here. It's another indication of the abdication of responsibility that occurred constantly during his eight years in office.

"Yer doin' a great job, Brownie!"

16. True, but on the other hand...

many of us wanted to see John Edwards become president and Joe Lieberman to be vice president under Al Gore. So I guess we can all get judgements wrong on people :)

9. Oh, I thought you said

jerked Bush's crooked head!

And this was the crooked jerk Bush wanted to make head of Homeland Security.

10. I love it when cops get sent to jail

[No Elephants]

13. Regardless of whether he has symptoms or is faking symptoms, did he think he

could break the law repeatedly without consequences?

[UTUSN]

14. & hot-wingnut-sez with Judy REGAN *wasn't* a clue to "psychological symptoms"?!1 n/t

[DebbieCDC]

15. Playing crazy -- cons have been doing it for years

[CK_John]

18. He knows too much to not be worried, not from the inmates but from those who should be. n/t

There ain't no hope for him.
