In this society, at MCI, he'll have every available opportunity known to man to improve his life. He'll be able to obtain a bachelor's degree through Boston University, Emerson, or many other colleges. He'll be able to learn any language he wants, become an auto body tech, barber, welder...

They are shutting Walpole down. They started last year, and if I'm not mistaken next year it will be closed. Although Walpole is a maximum security prison, it's been used for a "pre conviction" prison for a while now. Souza Baranowski prison in Lancaster is the only "post conviction" maximum...

I agree. So many questions. One thing I will say is IMO, the main reason he was is Princeton on that Sunday was not the intent to rob Vanessa. She was walking/jogging with running shorts and a training bra. I doubt he thought her pockets were lined with money. She was single, therefore wasn't...

This is protocol. Any convicted criminals entering the DOC system in Massachusetts goes here first. He may stay here, or be transfered once he is processed.

I agree Fred, but this is the way I look at it. I'm not so sure it would have been a slam dunk on the first degree murder charge which would have been a life sentence without parole. The reason I say this is, (and it's all speculation)......... Initially when Ortiz was arraigned in Leominster...

I hope the family of Vanessa, and everyone that knew her can somehow, find comfort in this. It's been a long road.

I'm sad to say that Vanessa's father passed away October 16th. Sad that he never saw justice in the death of his daughter after 6+ years of waiting, and so close to the upcoming trial date set for December. RIP John.

Thank you Fred. One more felony added to the charges.

I believe she was desperate to get out of that area once she was involved in the accident with alcohol in the vehicle. At first I thought she may have drifted into the woods and succumb to the elements. That is until I read the weather reports for that week and there was fresh snow on the...

He may not because he can use that as a bargaining chip in a plea deal. The DA could make a deal where he discloses where she is and they take the death penalty off the table. (assuming she's dead)

You may be right. I'm sure we'll know in time. In order to be charged with especially aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon, one doesn't need a deadly weapon. All they have to do is make the victim think there's one. So, for example, if I stick my hand under my shirt and kidnap someone, and...

Okay, thanks. That's another requirement. Again, not being updated on this case, or not seeing the video of her abduction, I can only guess they have evidence that she suffered serious bodily injury without having her body.

I haven't been following this case, so I am just assuming he hasn't been arraigned yet, seeing as he was just arrested. If Tuesday is his "arraignment", the charges will be explained to him in open court, along with his rights. "Especially Aggravated Kidnapping" means either she was held for...

Today marks 32 years since Cheryl Henry and Andy Atkinson were murdered. Another year has passed, and this case has yet to be solved. My thoughts are with MoCity and her family. My thoughts are with Andy Atkinson's family as well. I know I have said this many times in the past, but never give up...

Today marks 6 years since Vanessa Marcotte was murdered on that hot August Sunday afternoon in Princeton Ma. Jury selection is set for December 8th of this year, where Angelo Colon Ortiz will be tried for her murder, barring any further delays. RIP Vanessa.
