1. Oh, I think not

Asking for an "upgrade" is invariably evidence of a downgrade being in order. He shamelessly stole from the Jewish people. Keep him where he is, and ratchet up the toughness.
2. If you do the crime you do the time .....
Galut ,   Selah   (10.21.09)
the same as anyone else ...no special preference !!! you earn the right for privilges in prison ...your former status is gone period.
3. Is He in Prison, or on a spiritual luxury trip?
Andrei ,   Tel Aviv   (10.21.09)
I always had the feeling that Shas cares only for their clan members, now we have the proof! It is not Israel and it's citizens they care about, it's only THEIR members who count! Benizri is not a simple convict, he is a SHAS Clan Member( smells like Mafia)! so he has the right to a Sukkah! and what else!? Let's free him! He didn't do anything wrong for SHAS, he just stole from the STATE OF ISRAEL! Long Live Shas! Israel to the TRASH!
4. Shasnicks have Prison experience.
Philip ,   Afula ,Israel   (10.21.09)
This is not the first Shas crook to be seated in a correctional institution. I am surprised that their rich tradition of "doing time" was not used to prepare this "gentle" fellow for the conditions to be experienced in his new abode. They really should have prepared a manual with clear instructions, ISO style . Never mind ,the next fellow will benifit.
5. Does he also have bedbugs and moldy sheets??
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.21.09)
like everybody else? Sounds to me like he's being treated pretty good for a criminal.
6. To ## 1, 3 and 4
Vladimir ,   Jerusalem   (10.21.09)
Your attitudes are racist in essence. You, secular people, treat arrogantly the Sepharadi religious person, who needs a sukka during Sukkot not less than the kosher food. You gleefully comment on the plight of a father of eight children who was imprisoned NOT for stealing as you state - he stole nothing from the State of Israel or from you personally - but for receiving "bribes". Shame on you.
7. selective hearing
Michael ,   Haifa   (10.21.09)
Shas has apparently never heard of Buzaglo
8. Solitary confinement bread and water
Avi ,   Israel   (10.21.09)
You do the crime you do the time, stop whinning you whinger , if your going to preach "i am hollier than thou" at least learn to behave like a human being and while your at it check out the 10 commndments yeh !
9. Conditions in the clink.
Marina ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (10.21.09)
To Vladimir, Time you learned a lesson,and here for free.When you commit a crime ,are found guilty,and sentenced to do some time in the clink......then you are stripped of your daily life style.Its called punishment....like in crime and punishment,think about Vlad,otherwise we could sit in the clink,get 3 free meals a day ,family visits and probably the opportunity to be as "one" with the little lady from time to time.ie a home away from home. Real life does not work like this Vlad,think about and I am reasonably sure that you will get around to understanding this .
10. Vladimir
Galut ,   Selah   (10.21.09)
Racist no.... just a believer in the good old ten commandments that applies to everybody including those in shas....back in the day of Moses he maynot have faired as well as he is now... Bribery is stealing from the public trust ... today there are to many people who claim special status that rip off the public because they feel thier status entitles them to it. if we are to have an honorable society (Jew or Gentile) ...we must treat crime commited by those Jews or Gentiles with the same severity.
11. Marina , you're 100% RIGHT
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.21.09)
Nobody has to claim a better treatment in jail . All inmates are egal . This , our "friend" vladimir , a fanaticall guy can't or does'nt want to understand . He also forgets that Benizri has violated two laws : The State AND , as a "believing guy" , the Torah laws .
12. cold food?
Ilana   (10.21.09)
poor baby! Overcrowded? He should be used to this with 8 kids-unless he somehow has such a big house... that he was not overcrowded... Arrogance at its best-or worse?
