The "Jewish Jail"

Bernie Madoff requested to be incarcerated in Otisville Correctional Institute, which is known as the "Jewish jail" because of the high number of Jews incarcerated there.

Madoff's request was denied, because of the length of his sentence, that facility is not deemed high enough security for him.

I am simply embarrassed by the fact that there is a jail known as the "Jewish jail". Aren't you?
