Forty-three months in prison had one major impact on scandalous former Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. After helping send 20 former friends and associates to jail, he’s going to stop being a rat. Repeatedly whining about the prison conditions he faced at the minimum security facility in western Maryland, Abramoff told a Public Citizen audience Monday that he won’t cough up any more names in the congressional corruption scandal he headlined in 2006.

“Having gone through what I went through, watching my family being torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can’t be the agent of doing that to someone else,” he said. “I can’t be the agent of causing somebody to go to prison.”
