"“At one point, he cornered the hot chocolate market. He bought up every package of Swiss Miss from the commissary and sold it for a profit in the prison yard. He monopolized hot chocolate! He made it so that, if you wanted any, you had to go through Bernie.”"

There is also a new interview series with him on Audible:

"That’s one of the sure-to-be-controversial conclusions of “Ponzi Supernova,” a new Audible audio series built around extensive interviews with the now-jailed Madoff and hours of previously unheard testimony where he discusses his crimes in his own words.
The first four episodes of the six-part series made its debut Thursday. The final two parts will be released in the coming weeks."

If you have Amazon Prime, you can use Audible for free... The parts are 20-25 mins long...

Edit: The HBO movie with DeNiro as Madoff is coming out in May...

Where is he getting the money to buy all hot chocolate at the commissary?

He has money from the profits after cornering the Top Ramen market. :)

They get small payments for doing chores. Some relatives might give him money too...He could sell his signature. etc.

Over here, I think he wouldn't be able to do even that: the law's very strict about not allowing people to profit financially (even indirectly) from any crimes they've committed, and it would be held that the value of his signature rests on fame/notoriety achieved as a result of his criminal convictions and their publicity.
