If anyone has been curious about convicted journalist-turned-sex attacker Peter Braunstein, wonder no more. The Daily News interviewed the "fake fireman sicko" in an Ohio prison and learned he's actually pretty content.
Braunstein, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for posing as a firefighter, holding a work colleague captive in her apartment, and sexually abusing her for 13 hours in 2005, is in Cincinnati to face robbery charges (while on the run, he stole a psychologist's credit card):
I think I'm the only guy [incarcerated] who wouldn't want to get out..However, Braunstein wants to head back to his NY prison, if only for his prison pen pal--"She's one of those convict groupies. She sends photos. Apparently she's into body piercing."I would have no desire to try to rehabilitate myself and go back to being a guy with a job and meeting girls and having friends. I'm not interested in that whatsoever...
All I would do is go on some insane homicidal rampage. It wouldn't be good for society for me to get out. It might be good for me, though. It would probably provide some kind of cathartic relief.
This is not the first strange jailhouse interview Braunstein has given; shortly after his conviction, he told the NY Post things like, "I often have fantasies of doing a Columbine-like killing at a Scientologist church." The Manhattan jury that convicted him never believed his defense claim of being mentally ill.

not sure why we need to waste time and money housing this piece of garbage. shoot him in the head and be done with it.
The statement "sentenced to 20 years in jail" is wrong and impossible. If a person is convicted of a crime (or pleads guilty)and is sentenced to a year or more they do the time in a prison, not jail. If less than a year they do the time in a jail. Also, if a person is arrested and not yet tried they remain in jail awaiting trial. Or, if eventually convicted (or plead guilty)they remain in jail until sentenced.
That's the difference between "jail" and "prison."
So, because this wacko was sentenced to 20 years, he's doing his time in a prison.
Braunstein continued, "Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit."
Way to work in 'Shawshank.' I love that movie!
Glad he's happy that he's behind bars, because we're happy he's behind bars, too.
great. now lets stop writing about him and let him rot
Nice to know that a deranged homicidal maniac feels really cozy in jail. I can go to bed better tonight.
nothing wrong with his thinking. he's just being realistic. many people think like that, hopefully after they did their homicidal stint not BEFORE like this loser. way to make a name for yourself, braunstein. read up on the green river killer, now that was a guy to look up to.
He seems like a nice, balanced, and reasonable guy. Release this man immediately!
