Kent Hovind moved to "Hell" - Supermax prison in Colorado

Roadtoad said:
Well, considering that people who have done a lot less than Hovind are there...

Yeah. Really. And frankly, I'm sorry he's likely to get out as soon as he is. He's a liar, a fraud, a cheat, and a thief.

Isn't supermax for violent, dangerous criminals though?

Has he done anything violent?
 
Roadtoad said:
From what I understand, Hovind threatened federal prosecutors and judges. That's generally enough.

Really? Wow, that is surprising to me. Do you have any links about that? I apparently need to do some more reading about Mr. Hovind.
 
Also, are you sure about threatening people being enough toget you sent to a supermas prison? I am doing some reading about that, and everything I see says it is for violent inmates and gang members.

I don't think much of Mr. Hovind either, but that seems like an innapropriate place to send him.
 
Hovind! What can you say. SteveS quoted the passage and the diagnosis.

Working on a second "doctorate" from that residential house mail order diploma mill in federal prison. Well, I pay my taxes and not because I agree with them but because this is where you go if you don't.

Here's the "university" that Hovind's getting his degree from. I'm amazed that there are actually some cars in the parking lot. The satellite image (sans cars) was taken on a Tuesday morning a little after 11. You'd think someone would be there.

I am amazed that he is only "nearly finished" with his next degree. How long can it take you to write "God is great, money enclosed, please hide next certification of doctorate in comparative fairy tale studies religious ministering in cake and send package to my cell."

And he did have money, didn't he? I am sure he could have bought proper titles as well, no?

Oh yea - thanks for that. :)

Actually it looks like the campus has expanded since the last time I saw a picture years ago. I thought I recalled parking only immediately in front of the garage before.

He had a "dissertation" that was being updated continuously long after his degree was conferred - a novel idea for a dissertation. It has been a long time since I read that creationist screed, but it was sophomoric, as in high school sophomoric not college level sophomoric.

Patriot University is coincidentally located in Del Norte, Colorado, about a two hour drive from Florence.

Curious to know if his second doctorate will also be from PU.

Probably. Hey, go with what works.

I drive past the ADX on occasion. Creepy place. Not where I'd want to be held, if I were stupid enough to cheat on my taxes, then declare I had a right to be an imbecile.

But recently i have been reading a lot of books on prisons, prison politics, prison weaponry, etc ( i like all survival manuals , what can i say?), and i can see Hovind having a disproportionate amount of influence there.

It is easy as hell to get people to listen to you under the banner of god ( in two of the books, specifically, fundamentalist yet sketchy christian groups, and the same kind of muslim groups are the main culprit. ) , and someone like hovind , well i could seem him taking advantage of that.

That's interesting and seems to be what prison officials fear too from reading what they said to Kent Hovind:

Diesel Therapy Again
My Journey from Jesup, Georgia to Florence, Colorado

June 11, 2011
TRANSFER

...
My first night here, they had a Bible study with about seven guys. I attended and everyone introduced themselves. The group leader asked if I would lead the study last night! I cried. They told me both in Edgefield and in Jesup that I was not to lead any Bible studies even if it was only with one other person! I’ve been taking in for months with no outlet. I felt like the Dead Sea! What a blessed release to share my faith and teach the Word of God again!

The counselor in Jesup had told me my first week there that if he wanted to, he could send me where I would never see my family! (Some people need a job mowing grass not dealing with people.) ...

It is possible Hovind's not actually in a Supermax cell, but in one of the smaller Supermax facilities around it:

While possible, I find this unlikely.

ADX is part of Federal Correctional Complex, Florence. If the inmate locator doesn't list simply FCC Florence and instead specifies the ADX, that's probably where he is. If he were at the complex but not the ADX, it should say Florence USP (United States Penitentiary), Florence FCI (Federal Correctional Institution) or Florence FPC (Federal Prison Camp).
 
Hovind posted his daily routine. He gets radio, email and is a teacher at the prison as well as a student:

Kent Hovind said:
For over four years I have been working on another degree. The last requirement is the writing of another dissertation. I have been writing this during the past several years. I was about 90% finished, and was having it mailed back to me for the final proof and additions before I submitted to the school. The mail room here sent the rough draft back saying that because I did not take the courses offered here at the prison, I could not receive it. For the last six months I have filed papers back and forth with prison officials requesting that I be allowed to be given all my mail. I could write a book on the ridiculous obstacles the prison officials have put in my way but then, Nehemiah, Moses, and a host of others had problems to overcome as well. It sure seems like someone, maybe Satan, does NOT want this information to be printed! The dissertation is based on II Peter 3 where the scoffers are ignorant of the creation, the flood, and the coming judgment. I’ll keep trying!

Great! He can fill their minds with nonsense and they'll never hear anything to counter it.

I wonder if that school is the Patriot University, the diploma mill where he got his other "degrees."

For those unfamiliar with PU, here it is in all its glory...
