Ward Lands at Texas Prison

The ABC 7 I-Team has learned that former KGO Radio Host Bernie Ward has arrived at a federal prison in eastern Texas to serve out his sentence for child pornography. FCI Beaumont houses low security male inmates, and it was not Ward’s first choice. During his sentencing in August, Ward requested the minimum security prison in Lompoc and the judge agreed. But, it’s up to the Federal Bureau of Prisons to make the final decision based on the sentence, the prisoner’s needs and the population at the various locations.

A spokeswoman for the Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C. told me this morning they try to place an inmate within 500 miles of home, to facilitate visits by family members, but FCI Beaumont is exactly 2,023 miles from Bernie Ward’s house.

Barring transfer for discipline, medical reasons or overcrowding, Bernie Ward will serve out his 87 month sentence 35 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, 100 miles east of Houston. His release date is listed on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website as December 21, 2014.

OMG! Heard about this on the Savage Nation. Poetic justice has never been so sweet! I have gone round with Bernie a few times during his soapbox-like show... He would drone on and on reading from one article to another... His pregnant pauses would eventually make me turn to other stations.
I'm sure he is going to really enjoy his stay in Texas... I hope he likes humidity

[Lee Schmortz]

Well now, ol' Bernie goin' to Texas huh? Looks like this paragon of san francisco morality is gonna meet himself some Texas bubbas. 7 years of that and Bernie will be a new man.

You cannot make up a better outcome for a guy who spewed hate for Republicans, conservatives and the patriotic who lied to everyone about his innocence when he knew hard evidence would come out. I went to bat for Bernie to a couple of national talk show host friends thinking the Democrats were paying him back for leaving the party and bad-mouthing him only to have the poo-poo hit the fan. Good luck, Jerk.

I tried to listen to this guy on my frequent overnight drives to various places...I could even pick KGO up in the High Desert of NV and even Kigman AZ to Needles!!...he always struck me as a bombastic demagogue devoid of reason and sensitivity. I would up switching to KLA_? I found the traffic reports in L.A. more interesting than this dolt.

[Bill]

Bernie is going to be big bertha in prison! HAHAHA! He's going to get whats coming to him!

[Tony]

Well, I have been praying for this ugly, low-down child-molesting rapist to see his end one day. whether you abuse a child or think of doing it to a child is no different than a actual child rapist to me: That's the type of person he is and there's a lot more that needs to be put or away or put them to sleep forever. This is a dangerous jerk that lurks and steal the soul of the innocents. Thank you Lord for your answered prayers.

I live in Texas and would like to welcome Bernie to our great state. I hope for his sake that his first "partner" is at least a young man.

[John Wayne]

The family wanted him far away. It came out at his trial he was fantasizing about having sex with his children. That is why he is not within the normal 500 mile range.

With all the Mexican child molesters here, you think they would take at least one in trade. An American prison is too good for this scumbag.

[Bubba]

Ah......Justice! So sweet!

[DJ Kowalski]

Now, if only somehow, we can get that other rabid, jouster of nonsensical liberal vitriol Ray Taliaferro off KGO, then more justice would be served. Come on Ray, please send nasty pix over the internet!

[Wayne Gacy]

I dont like to gloat, but this feels so good. I cannot imagine sweeter irony. At least this guy is muzzled during what would have been, to him, Nirvana what with the first affirmative action AND commie president about to be elected. That would have been a twofer for this anti-American pig. I think Bernie will enjoy his stay in prison and will relocate to the Castro district if he gets out alive.
Sweet dreams, Bernie. Have another pizza.

Bernie Ward doesn't belong in prison and he loves is family and always wanted to be close to them. They sure set him up. He didn't molest any children all he did is look at pictures. And he never dreamed about having sex with his own children, that is a total lie. Bernie is a good guy and I miss him on the air at night. Maybe somebody will pardon him and he can come home to his wife and children where he belongs and he certainly isn't any sex offender that's for sure.

Yours truly,
Diane Franet

[phil thrasher]

The prison he is in has a special program to treat sex offenders. Maybe they can help him.

[Paul Scipio]

I would rather see Bernie sent to Folsom but then it's not a federal country club prison. Too bad the rest of the SanfranSicko city councle can not join Bernie, they just as perverted in the brain as he is. Looks like Diane Franet is a perverted sicko too.

Eighty-seven months. How sweet it is. Bernie will have the time of his life becoming a soprano, and the prisoners will have to plug their ears each time his spincter is stretched by his horny cellmate and he sings his thanks in high 'C'. By the time he gets out, his rear end will bear a close resemblance to the St. Louis Arch. Heck, Bernie may not even want to get out -

[Jeri]

Bernie got a terrific deal being sent off to a male only prison. If punishment was really intended, he'd have been sent to an all womans prison. At the end of his emprisonment he'd be able to register the callouses on his hand with the Believe it or Not TV show.

[Bubba]

Howdy Bernie! I'm going to be your new cellmate.

Don't worry though, we got internet here in the prison, so you can still get your fix. It's not free though. You know what it costs, Bernie.

[Chris Clark]

I feel real sory for Bernie,he got a raw deal,he should have recieved counseling for what he did,he never had any physical contact with any kids at all,he just looked at pictures on the internet,there's too many people in Prisons for non-violent crimes,I wish I knew where I could write to Bernie,I'd sent him a letter along with some money,I use to work for KGO as a weekend host,I said something I should not have and lost my job over it,people make mistakes you know?

[eddie]

i can't understand the courts in this country how can they even allow a freaking pedolphire to make a request of were he wants to be housed a.can i request he be castarated by his victims.

[jenny]

Bubba, you are a moron. He got what he deserved and you obviously deserved to be fired from KGO. People like you and Bernie are what make this world so crappy. Someone ought to pull your worthless balls out of your sack with a pair of needle nose pliers. Now go suck a vagina since you already suck c**k.

[harvnhoutx]

This is the "federal prison" where a lot of white collar, low-level criminals end up. Here in Houston, we call it a country club. This "prison" is nothing like the state prison sytem. He wouldn't last 6 months in TDCJ. They would show this guy how a pervert gets treated in the state system.

Hey Diane! When Obama is elected President, why don't you ask him to pardon Bernie into your care and you will admit him into your home to stay with you and your children.

[WIlliam Ayers]

Hold on there folks;

When Obama is elected Pelosi will have him out in a jiffy.

Where is it in the constitution that molesting children is against the law?

(They didn't write it in the Consitution because sick perverts like Bernie were hung immediately upon discovery, no judge, jury or trial needed.)

[Wyatt Burp]

TEXAS?!! Where, according to Bernie Warped, Bush massacred so many poor innocent people on death row? How great is this?! Hope Bernie ends up bobbing for Kripy Kreem donuts off his cellmate's blue vien throbber! That'd make him feel like he was back in Scrotumville... I mean San Francisco!

[mk23]

Hey! Bernie have a great time in Beaumont Say hi to all your new roommates and get to know them personally and I know you will want
to get a good closeup by bending over backwards and getting a mouthful.
