Roman Polanski has been getting the star treatment behind bars.

The filmmaker, 76, was allowed regular calls to his wife, French actress Emmanuelle Seigner, and his attorneys, according to Yussi Akram, an inmate who served time with Polanski. Prison guards also kept the "Rosemary's Baby" director away from other inmates, Akram told Zurich’s Radio One.

Polanski's cell phone was equipped with an emergency button to summon guards, The Los Angeles Times reports.

But, according to The Associated Press, Polanski is just getting the same rights as any extradition detainee, a group who are afforded more privileges than prisoners who have committed crimes on Swiss soil.

Director Janusz Morgenstern, a close friend of Polanski's, told Radio One the director is depressed and has lost 30 pounds.

"His fear of the U.S. verges on panic, and he has lived with that fear for so long that it's become obsessive," Morgenstern said, adding that Polanski's kids have been taken out of school after being taunted by their peers.

oops

In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report.

Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject.
