It has emerged that Mona Faiz Montrage, alias Hajia4Reall will serve her one-year and one day jail time in a Connecticut jail.

While confirming that the convict will fly straight from jail to Ghana after serving her term, Matthew Russell of Inner City Press said, "she (Hajia4Reall) had asked for Danbury (prison)."

GhanaWeb has so far gleaned some information about the facility which is a low-security federal prison.

"The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Danbury is comprised of three facilities: FCI (Low Security-Male), FSL (Federal Satellite Low-Female), and SCP (Satellite Prison Camp-Female)," a handbook sighted by GhanaWeb stated.

With respect to its location, the handbook stated: "The Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury, is located three (3) miles north of the city of Danbury, Connecticut, on Route 37. Interstate 84 runs through the city and is the main artery for East/West travel."

Our checks also show that Danbury, Connecticut is approximately 70 miles from mid-town New York City.

Transportation from any of the three major airports in New York City to Danbury is provided by limousine, bus, or train. Danbury is also serviced by bus and taxi service.
