(CNN)Larry Nassar, the disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor who admitted to sexually abusing underage girls, has been transferred from a Michigan facility to a federal prison in Tucson, Arizona, to start a 60-year sentence for child pornography crimes, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said Saturday.

The high-security prison is one of nine in the federal system that offers sex offender treatment, according to the Bureau of Prisons website. It has 1,536 inmates -- 1,387 in the prison and 149 at a minimum-security satellite camp.

The website says only prisoners who volunteer can receive the treatment.

"The Bureau recognizes sex offenders as a vulnerable population within a prison setting," the site says. "Institutional assignment, unit management, Psychology Treatment Programs and re-entry planning promote the well-being of sex offenders while incarcerated and help both the offenders and society by reducing the likelihood of re-offense after release."

1. As long as he NEVER gets out

No parole, no early release, no nuthin'!

[marylandblue]

2. I think the idea is that he'd be killed in a regular prison nt

3. We don't want that sicko here!

I hope he never sees the light of day again.

4. Less than 5 years before someone gives their opinion of him

[BigmanPigman]

5. He'll have the same fate as Jeffrey Dahmer.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

13. Its Always Nice

to hear so-called liberals advocating prison brutality.

[janterry]

6. With the Feds, he'll receive fair and humane treatment

which is better than what he gave his victims,
but what all prisoners deserve.

[mucifer]

8. He's in prison for the rest of his life. I hope his victim's lives flourish

federal prisons are a little better than state prisons. But, they are prisons. People aren't free. He will have suffering the rest of his life and girls and young women will not be exposed to him anymore.

7. I live a stone's throw from MSU & heads continue to roll, as they should. I can't believe I'm

writing this, but John Engler has done a good job so far as Interim President. I've despised him for 20 years, but he's acted quickly to get rid of the people who need to go. To be fair, firing educators is something he's very good at and has much experience in doing. My sweetie worked in the Michigan Consumer Protection Office and lost his job when Engler eliminated the program in 1991.He takes a dim view of Engler, but even he thinks Engler is doing a decent job. What I've enjoyed so far is how he brought the hammer down on Attorney General Bill Scheutte last week. Engler set up a meeting between his legal team and Scheutte for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Shortly before 10:00, Scheutte (who is a sleaze bag attention hound, Republican party hack, & candidate for Governor) abruptly cancelled the meeting and showed up with a camera crew at the offices of the MSU School of Osteopathic Medicine to film what amounted to a raid on the offices. It was a blatant publicity stunt designed solely to use for campaign commercials. Engler was not amused. He is still a big shot in Republican circles and holds a lot of sway with the MIGOP. He immediately ordered Scheuttte to scrub any mention of him on Scheutte's campaign website and from any campaign materials. That was a big slap down and really pretty hilarious.

I still don't like John Engler and don't trust him as far as I could throw him, but he has met with the legislature and got their assurance that they won't penalize the entire university when it's time for appropriations to colleges and universities in Michigan. The School of Osteopathic Medicine & the Athletic Department are different stories, however. I'll bet the School of Osteopathic Medicine really gets gutted because they allegedly knew what Nasser was doing for years & looked the other way when he told them what "medical treatments" he was performing on his female patients after allegations of abuse surfaced.

I hope that piece of filth never breathes free air again. Local news stations aired many of the victim impact statements and it was utterly wrenching. It was so difficult listening to them, but as I watched them, I could see them reclaiming their power. It was inspiring as well as horrific. Every one of the women who testified are heroes.

9. If not safe in a regular prison, put him in a women's prison. Surely they will respect him.

10. Child abusers.....

notoriously have a "difficult time" in prison. I'd say this sick bastard deserves everything he has coming to him.

[jmowreader]

11. They will have to keep him in his own little cage

Chomos like Nassar tend to receive the short end of the stick in prison...and the long end, the middle and any other part of the stick they can be hit with. I kinda expect him to meet the same end as Jeffrey Dahmer.

[47of74]

14. I don't want him to meet an early end.

I hope Nassar lives a very, very long time behind bars and that he has to suffer with the knowledge of what he has done.

[jmowreader]

15. Youre assuming he has capacity for remorse

This is the kind of guy they need to give a work-in-cell job to so no one else can get to him.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. same here

He should live a long, confined, regulated life away from society. He doesn't get to choose. That's something he took away from his victims. They are free. He will be reminded every day that society considers him unfit and unsafe to walk free. It's a lifetime cage.

Brutalizing prisoners -- by administrators, guards or other prisoners -- is uncivilized. If we take away a person's freedom, including the ability to self-defend, we are obligated to protect that person. Courts do not sentence people to be raped or otherwise brutalized.

12. I guess this pos had to be somewhere, but it feels weird that he is in my hometown at

least for the first 60 years!
