Wall Street felon Dennis B. Levine, who once wore $1,000 tailored suits and swung multimillion-dollar stock deals, now spends his days in olive-green military fatigues at the federal prison camp in Lewisburg, Pa., where he mops the floor and cleans the grounds for an inmate`s salary of $50 a month.
Levine, 34, a former investment banker whose arrest a year ago led to Wall Street`s biggest insider-trading scandal, began serving a two-year term for securities fraud April 6 in the 100-acre, minimum-security camp.
The ex-stock trader sleeps with 180 other male prisoners in a crowded dormitory packed with bunk beds separated only by 6-foot partitions. He arises for a 6 a.m. breakfast and works a 40-hour week with weekends and holidays off.
His family can visit from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on his days off, prison-camp authorities say.
In his spare time, Levine can watch Home Box Office cable color television in a lounge, play cards or Monopoly, shoot billiards, exercise on a weight-lifting machine or smack a tennis ball on the camp`s single concrete court.
