Fascinating story and perverse the cunning of the swindler! FWIW in 1973 or so a JAG officer and I flew around the flank of Pikes Peak from Ft Carson to that prison. One of the brigade's enlisted men was there as a prisoner and we went to interview him. A dismal place. We flew in a small cramped 2-man helicopter called a "loach" a pretty precarious craft when it came to navigating the afternoon thunderstorms around the mountain!
