MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon traded jeans and a light brown sweater for a khaki green prison uniform – and a once promising political career for a serial number on Tuesday.
At his sentencing last month, his attorneys asked a federal judge to allow the felon to spend his birthday and the coming holidays with his wife and children in Charlotte.

Patrick “Cash” Cannon
The prison is a country club! It looks like somewhere I wouldn’t mind vacationing. And he will only serve about 20 months. Fricking thug politicians should be hung. They get the weakest most comfortable prison time. Where is the justice?
Say hello to Bubba, you ass clown.

Cannon was arrested in March and accused of accepting more than $50,000 in bribes from FBI agents and a Charlotte strip club owner. He resigned as mayor the same day. In June, he pleaded guilty to a single corruption charge / from the article.
Street cred. He has a promising career as an inner city dem pol. He’ll get elected with 90%+.
His “resume enhancement” comes with “3 hots and a cot”; at Taxpayer expense. Natch.
