Letter to the Editor: Delay in Prison Start for Ex-Congressman Sign of White Privilege


Dear Editor,

What an example of white privilege. Chris Collins is convicted of stealing*, receives a light sentence, and is allowed to delay his date to report to prison not once but twice. What other thief would get this kind of treatment? Will the next 70-year-old guy who steals a wallet be permitted to delay his sentence? Or does he need to be rich and white?

*Editor’s note: The formal charges Chris Collins pled guilty to include one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and one count of making false statements to law enforcement officials.
