Thoughts on Providence Mayor Vincent : Buddy " Cianci languishing in prison ( 2003 blog post )

Tuesday, April 15, 2003 Cianci's letters from prison I am not a fan or a defender of the now imprisoned ex-mayor of Providence, Vincent " Buddy " Cianci . But I did not want him to languish in prison. What happens to any man's soul in prison is always of great human interest. I'll bet many of your readers might enjoy a monthly LETTER FROM BUDDY . " Know thyself " , advises the ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates. What has " Buddy " discovered in prison about the REAL " Buddy " ? Any spiritual growth here ? What does he think about late at night all alone in very un-regal surroundings ? What does he read ? I do miss his COLOR and flamboyance. But how quickly prison can break a man. A penny for your thoughts, " Buddy " !
