After 24 Years In Congress, Corrine Brown Starts New Life In Prison
Daily Caller ^ | 1/29/2018 | thomas phippen

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

She was found guilty of 18 out of 22 counts of corruption and tax-related fraud in May 2016. Brown and associates transferred more than $800,000 from One Door for Education, a charity she ran, into personal bank accounts between 2012 and 2016. Ronnie Simmons, Brown’s former chief of staff, and the charity’s president, Carla Wiley, both testified against their former boss.

Five year sentence in the Big House for this corrupt Rat, but possible parole in 12 months. I'd like to know if this criminal gets to keep any Congressional benefits or pension. Maybe she'll run again for her old seat - a female version of Marion Barry. I'm sure her constituents will view her as a political prisoner and with sentimentality.

So she spends a year at Club Fed and then lives out her life on a *very* comfortable Congressional pension.

Some here will advocate for her voting right to be restored after she’s “paid her debt to society.” I won’t be one of them.

There is no parole or early release in the Federal system.

If we still had a Republican party instead of this RINO abomination mutation, they would take full advantage of this to get the black vote. “Black woman commits 1/1000th the amount of crimes Hillary Clinton does but the white woman Hillary remains free as a bird while the black lady goes to jail”..You can damn well bet if the parties were reversed Democraps would be playing that up day and night.

Yep. Corrine Brown didn't do anything Hillary Clinton didn't do. Brown just wasn't nearly as good at it.

I can't help but feel a little bad for Brown, going to prison for her piddly little scholarship scam while Hillary became rich beyond her wildest dreams selling U.S. foreign policy.
