Madoff will be housed in medium security Butner Federal Correctional Institute just outside
The disgraced money manager was sentenced earlier this month to 150 years after running
a Ponzi scheme that stole an estimate $50 billion from investors.

CBS 2 HD has learned the itinerary of Madoff's daily routine. It will be ground hog day every
day for the 71-year-old. He'll wake up every morning at 6 a.m., have breakfast, then work his
prison job, have some lunch and then its back to his prison job. Dinner will follow, along with
visits from anyone who may want to say hello. He'll be counted along with other inmates
every three hours. And according to a former federal prisoner, he better watch his back.

"It's going to be cell living, standard prison cell. He'll be locked down from, figure, 9 at night
to 6 in the morning. He'll be living out of a 2-foot by 4-foot wall locker," Larry Levine said.

"He won't have a lot of freedom. The institution has what's called 'controlled movement,'
which might be familiar for people back in high school where you had passing periods --
where between classes you had a certain amount of time to get between areas. Well, a
medium operates like that."

Levine fears Madoff could be in a lot of trouble in that facility.

"I think he's gonna be killed in prison. I think he's gonna have to watch his back every
minute," he said.

Levine said Madoff will eventually have a roommate and they'll both live in a cell that
measures 9 feet long and about 5 feet wide -- quite a change from his 7,000 square foot
penthouse that's now property of Uncle Sam.

Life as he knows it is most definitely over.

Among the well-known criminals being held at Butner are:

* John Rigas, founder of Adelphia Communications, and his son, Tim, the company's chief
financial officer. They were convicted on multiple charges of securities fraud, conspiracy to
commit bank fraud and bank fraud.

* Jonathan Pollard, the American convicted of spying for Israel more than two decades ago.

* Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as the blind sheik, who was sentenced to life in prison
in 1995 for his role in a plot to kill Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and blow up New York
City landmarks, including the United Nations. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1995 and
moved to Butner in 2007.
