Corrupt ex-Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver returned home to the Lower East Side on Tuesday, appearing frail and gray as he entered his apartment complex in a wheelchair after spending eight months and eight days in an upstate federal prison.
Silver, 77, was released by the federal Bureau of Prisons over the adamant objections of prosecutors amid claims that he is in poor health.
He arrived at his longtime home in the Hillman Housing Co-op on Grand St. at 5:10 p.m., clad in sweats and a gray baseball cap as he was pushed along a wheelchair ramp into one of the complex’s buildings.
“He needs privacy. He needs to recover health-wise,” said Rabbi Akiva Homnick, president of Pidyon Shvuyai Yisroel, a Jewish prisoner support group. Homnick spoke to Silver after his release.
Asked how Silver is doing, Homnick said: “How could one be doing when you endure solitary confinement for a good chunk of 6½ months? It was quarantine, quarantine, quarantine, imprisoned in solitary confinement.”
“He is stoked to return,” Homnick added.

Hi-Yo Silver.
This shitbone should have spent the full term in prison.
"He is stoked to return,” said a spokesman from Pidyon Shvuyal Yisroel after critical comments about his incarceration. Wonder if felt the same way about Madoff when he was in prison?
Where is the far left fighting to keep non violent criminals out of jail?
What about Dean Skelos? is he still in jail?
Look up the word "sleazeball" in the dictionary, you'll see this guy's picture.
New York state where crime does pay. I guess if your one of the chosen people you can steal all you want go to trial 2 times, be found guilty two times and walk out of jail after eight months of a six year sentence. Is it any wonder why anyone should follow the law. This asshole should have never seen the light of jail like any other criminal. However there are two sets of rules for the ordinary people and the political elites. What a fucking joke the judicial system in this country has become.
Deano the skell ain't in the club.
Maybe shelly will spill the beans on CUOMIGULA? And that's why he got sprung??
CUOMIGULA should be recalled now !

I hope Shelly sings like Mario Lanza !
So when can we expect him back on the ballot?
Run, Shel run!!
This is good news for Andrew....After the Feds convict him for cooking the books in the nursing home scandal, he'll only serve a very short time, just like Shelly.
Criminal-crat, Sheldon Silver being released from prison after less than a year on a six-and-a-half-year sentence is an outrageous miscarriage of justice, and a bracing slap in the faceto EVERY New York State resident that he stole from and cheated, with impunity, over the course of his longterm, crime-filled career. It's also why crime everywhere else is rampant in a society that is not able to rely upon a court system to honor the integrity of a jury's own sentencing and punishment decisions, when the criminal element itself is state government.
"What about Dean Skelos?
Deano has been in at home confinement for some time.
"Former state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos was released from an upstate prison Tuesday into home confinement after contracting coronavirus."

I guess shelly didn't give the feds any good dirt on cuomigula, so it's back to Bastille...
