After 24 Years In Congress, Corrine Brown Starts New Life In Prison

Former Florida Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown reported to federal prison Monday to start her five year sentence for multiple crimes, including tax fraud and corruption.

Brown, 71, turned herself in to the Sumter Correctional Institution in Florida, one of the largest federal prisons in the country, which houses both violent and non-violent offenders. Brown will be serving her five-year sentence at a minimum-security satellite facility, which keeps roughly 391 other female inmates.

Brown was ordered to report before noon Monday, and a black a black bus with tinted windows arrived at the prison yard and Brown stepped out, the Florida Times-Union reports.

She was in the bus with some family members, and asked Bishop Kelvin Cobaris, a pastor from the Orlando area, to pray for her. When a reporter asked if Brown was afraid, Cobaris said, “The congresswoman is a very strong woman. I didn’t see fear. I saw nervousness.”

Brown was sentenced in December to five years in prison, plus three years supervised release. She could potentially apply for early release after 12 months.

All together now . . . Go Gata!

Well, that's 30 seconds I'll never get back.

It's too bad that we taxpayers had to pay that critter anything for her 24 years of corruption and it's even more tragic that Congress' time is wasted by a criminal trying hard to read (and failing miserably) the results of an f'n football game.

With luck, that sentence will be a life sentence and that critter will never see the light of day again. Mouth breathing illiterate gangsters like her need to be permanently locked up.
