Tuesday morning, Jerry Sandusky was on the move, even with much speculation that Sandusky would remain in Centre County over the course of his appeals. He is now in Camp Hill at the State Correctional Facility.
This is yet another way that this case has remained remarkably on schedule, in the run up to the trial, the trial itself and now the handling of the prisoner post-sentencing.
There was no notice of the move that happened Tuesday morning, with Sandusky leaving Centre County at 5:30 a.m.
Camp Hill is where inmates have their health evaluated, both mentally and physically, plus their education level in determining where the inmate’s eventual home prison will be among the 26 in the state system.
Sandusky does have health issues, including sleep apnea.
There is no indication how long Sandusky will remain in Camp Hill, if he will be allowed in the general prison population, either in Camp Hill or anywhere else, or where he will go next as his eventual home prison.
About 12 percent or about 6,800 of the inmates in the PA system are sex offenders and the state does not have any special facilities for those offenders.
Most inmates are allowed to work and earn between 19 and 51 cents an hour to pay for such things as cable TV or $10 doctor visit co-pays. There is no word if because of the possible danger to Sandusky he will be given that opportunity.
While there is no way to know for sure, a logical location for Sandusky to next call home would be the State's Laurel Highlands facility in Somerset, it is on the site of the former Somerset State Hospital, a prison that specializes in housing older and geriatric male inmates, plus inmates who are mentally ill.
For Sandusky the transition may not be easy because behind these walls the only thing lower than a snitch is a child sex offender.
