March 16 (Bloomberg) -- The new home of felon and ex-Tyco International Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Dennis Kozlowski, while not furnished with the $6,000 shower curtain and paintings by Monet and Renoir that decorated his previous Manhattan abode, offers a stunning view of Central Park and the New York skyline. Convicted in 2005 of looting his company, Kozlowski was transferred from an upstate prison to a minimum-security facility on Manhattan's 110th Street near Fifth Avenue, on the north border of the park. Kozlowski leaves every weekday morning to participate in a work-release program, said Peter Cutler, a spokesman for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Michael Shapiro, a lawyer for Kozlowski, said he's working full-time as a financial consultant for a non-profit organization that helps ex-convicts. "He's very happy to be out doing something that he has sort of dedicated himself to," Shapiro said. While in prison, Kozlowski has helped other inmates learn to read and to earn their General Equivalency Diplomas, Shapiro said. Saturday Nights Kozlowski, still serving a prison sentence of 8 1/3 to 25 years, must return every work night to his new home, known as the Lincoln Correctional Facility, said Peter Cutler, a spokesman for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. He is permitted to spend Saturday nights outside the prison, according to Cutler. Read More. |
