James “Whitey” Bulger has been in prison for a little more than a year. He was locked up at age 81 and within a month he’ll have his 83rd birthday. He’s smart enough to know that there is no way that he’ll ever get out of prison unless he escapes. (Wouldn’t that be a great…

The original date was in November but the significant amount of discovery which the government must turn over to the defense counsel consisting of many tens of thousands…
