Well, they have different categories of prisons because they don't waste money on high security for folks that will not cause trouble and will cooperate. Most of the Watergate prisoners (particular the men that worked directly for Nixon) ended up in the "county club" places with tennis courts, etc. The thing is that a tennis court can be set up and maintained for the cost of one guard for a year. OTOH, G. Gordon Liddy did some hard time but that cost the system a lot because he kept suing the prison officials.
