MIAMI -- The Scott Rothstein saga has become a "riches to rags" story.

One month ago, the now disbarred attorney was cruising around town in one of his luxury sports cars, wearing expensive clothes and jewelry, and living in a $6 million home in Fort Lauderdale’s exclusive Harbor Beach neighborhood. Now, he’s in the Federal Detention Center in Downtown Miami, awaiting trial on charges that could keep him behind bars for life.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons would not tell Local 10 whether Rothstein has his own cell or if he has a cell mate, but they did give a glimpse of life in federal lockup -- a far cry from the lifestyle Rothstein was living before.

In the detention center, wake-up is at 6 a.m., and inmates have about 30 minutes to get dressed in their khaki prison pants and buttoned shirt and eat breakfast.

Inmates are served three meals a day. Officials said a typical breakfast in the detention center is cereal or a muffin with fruit and coffee or juice. Lunch might be a fish sandwich and some chips, and dinner could be something like chicken with a vegetable or salad.

Officials also said there will be no free ride of Rothstein while he awaits trial, Local 10's Roger Lohse reported. All inmates at the detention center are assigned some type of job. It could be cleaning the kitchen or common areas or grounds-keeping. Rothstein -- who federal investigators said earned more than $1 billion through his Ponzi scheme -- will now earn between 12 and 40 cents an hour.

Rothstein's attorney said Tuesday he would put $500 in Rothstein's commissary account so he can buy toiletries and snacks, but he’s only allowed to spend $290 a month in the commissary.

Rothstein was arrested by federal agents Monday and charged with five counts including conspiracy, money laundering, wire and mail fraud. If convicted on all of the charges, he could face up to 100 years in prison.
