President Obama is going to federal prison in Oklahoma next week to visit the facility and talk about reforming Americas criminal justice system.
Vice Media will be attending the event, featuring the president in an HBO special with CEO Shane Smith, marking the first sitting United States president to visit a federal prison.
The event will take place at the El Reno federal prison, which houses 1,300 inmates. According to a news release, Obama is expected to meet with prisoners, prison staff, and law enforcement officials.
Theres an emerging consensus in this country on both the right and the left that the way we treat criminal offenders is utterly broken and weakening our society in profound ways, Smith said in a statement. Visiting El Reno with President Obama the first-ever visit to a federal prison by a sitting president will give our viewers a firsthand look into how the president is thinking about this problem, from the policy level down to one on one conversations with the men and women living this reality. Its going to be fascinating.
Smith, who has hired former Obama body man Reggie Love and former Obama Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco has enjoyed an unprecedented level of media access from the White House.

Checking out his future accomodations?
As attention-grabbing, false-hope headlines go, this one sinks pretty low.
Dirty trick. You had my heart going all pitty-pat just thinking the mobster in the white hut sitting in the slammer!
I know: "You don't defeat criminality with arrests, incarceration, and executions. You defeat criminality with better ideas."
troble is they are going to let him leave ater his viisit.
More and more he reminds me of the Kim Jung’ns.
Dear leader will have all the press fawning and snapping pictures of his greatness. Approved photos will then be released.
He will then do what he does best—agitate. The useless congress will then do his bidding.
if ever there were a headline that generated more hope for America...
And Obama is going to take up residence there... yes? Please?
Without reading more than the headline; I hope he stays there until executed by some kind of long and painful way to atone in some small part for all the damage he has done to this once great country for the last 6 plus years.
Actually; that would be too good for him and his Administration. They should all be put in a camp and given a cup of water a day until they die of starvation.
Yep. For their crimes against this nation; that’s the least they can do to atone.
Really? So THIS is the pressing issue of the freaking day?? What consensus? The 0blama Consensus?!
Smith, who has hired former Obama body man Reggie Love and former Obama Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco has enjoyed an unprecedented level of media access from the White House.
Am I the only one seeing something completely wrong with this?
Reggie’s there? Any conjugal visits?
‘As attention-grabbing, false-hope headlines go, this one sinks pretty low.’
Well, the libs says something enough it ultimately becomes truth, so why not us?
This punk POTUS has committed more treason in the U.S. than any one singular person in history. Federal Prison would be too lenient a punishment.
