It was the world's largest walled prison at one time. I'd actually like to take the tour but I'm not going to spend $30 and not be allowed to take my own pictures.

It’s unlikely that he will receive the sentence that he deserves, but we can hope.

Yet another example of DIMocRAT rule. Can’t these perps leave everyone alone??? Apparently not.

Take a look who won the primary.
It wasn't without controversy starting with the fact that it was a write in campaign. They originally threw out some 40% of his votes for no apparent reason but the state made them count them. He still faces a considerable challenge from Benny Napoleon. A little Democrat on Democrat action promises to be fun for all.

Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick Loses Congressional Seat Amid Son Kwame's Scandals circa Aug 2010 / BY Patricia Murphy, Capitol Hill Bureau Chief
Kwame
Kwame's mommy. Guy who beat her.
Sexy text messages, perjury charges and a Detroit political career mired in corruption brought Democratic Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick's distinguished congressional career to an end Tuesday night -- and she had only her son to blame.
That son -- former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick -- is serving five years in prison for violating the terms of his 2009 probation. He originally went to jail for perjury and corruption related to a sex and text-message scandal between him and his chief of staff in the mayor's office. He was sent back to prison in 2010 on additional perjury charges.
Although Represenative Kilpatrick's 14 years in Congress were scandal-free, and she eventually nabbed a spot on the powerful Appropriations Committee, a poll just before Tuesday's primary showed that 44 percent of voters planned to choose someone other than the incumbent because of the mess surrounding the former mayor.
The congresswoman also faced her toughest opponent ever Tuesday night in Hansen Clarke, an Ivy League-educated Michigan state senator with a compelling personal story and a slogan telling voters "It's Time for a Change." Clarke soundly defeated Kilpatrick, by 47 percent to 41 percent.--Snip--

Look for all these guys to get pardoned by Obama, including a few in Illinois like Blagovich and Jesse Jackson Jr.
If this happens, I hope the incomming Tea Party Prez re-arrests them and tries them on other related charges.

Not his fault - his parents, yes.

"A friend is fond of saying that all politicians should get two terms. One in office and one in prison."Your friend was half right. After being in public office, Demonrat and RINO politicians should be given a position by juries a few steps higher up.

Wasn’t Kilpatrick also involved in a scheme with Manuel “Matty” Moroun—who owns the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, ON—to stop all attempts at building alternative crossings between Detroit and Windsor, ON?

Looks like Detroit, MI is the “Chocolate City” of the North. New Orleans, LA is the Southern version. Not surprisingly, ex-Mayor Ray Nagin is being tried for corruption. Looks like Kwame Kilpatrick will beat Ray Nagin to the cross bar hotel.

Detroit elections are being forcibly cleaned up and are under a microscope I am pleasantly surprised to see that Detroit's U.S. Attorney's Office seems to be an honest outfit.
