Word came late this afternoon from federal Bureau of Prison regional offices in Philadelphia that Joe “I Will Be Fully Vindicated” Ganim “declines” a request for an interview in his new digs at the elegant, 1870-era Second Empire brick halfway house for 64 federal and state inmates on Hartford’s Asylum Hill. So gentle readers will be kept in the dark on how someone, after about 6 years in prison, got involved in a drug-rehabilitation program, which allowed him to take 500 hours of programming and become eligible for shaving two full years off his 9-year corruption sentence.
