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, Browns former chief of staff, and the charitys president, Carla Wiley, both testified against their former boss.

Well, I’m one...
I don’t believe in punishment after completion of sentences.
For anyone.
Please feel free to start a reply with “but what about”. THe answer will be the same.
Birds of a feather? Maybe they can share a cell. What pathetic criminals.
Under Florida law, incarceration is only part of the sentence for felonies. Permanent loss of the vote (except when reinstated by petition) is also part of the punishment.
As to federal sentences, I don’t know what the rule is but would be interested in finding out.
It is astounding. Far too rare. To be celebrated with... Hats N Horns!
I wonder if they have any who "identify" as female but in fact have a d***?
I think you are mixing Powers Booth with E Power Biggs.
Orange on the new Black?
Too bad it wasn't a state conviction. Florida requires inmates to serve at least 85% of their sentence.
The dem party is chock full of kooks..just look at a comparison of guest lists for the SOTU..
I'm sorry, I not only misread your comment but also misspoke.
I'm one of those deplorables who also agrees that once you have paid your debt to society, your voting rights should be restored...........
as long as the debt was adequate, I agree ....
You notice how Hatty McDumbHat hasnt been seen since they tried to make her the face of the anti-Trump resistance? I guess she didnt test well with the focus groups.
Who determines what is adequate? The court, you or public opinion?
funny, my wife said the same thing!
Also, everything in the Bill of Rights.
Because those are Rights you have because you are alive.
The only people who have them permanently revoked are the dead.
And I don’t care a whit for the “law” in Florida. If it is as described, it is wrong.
“Where my staff??”
“Where be my staff??”
“Where be my constiturents?”
“My constiturents need me. Where be da House post office?”
No, that’s Federica Wilson. There are so many kooks, my God, *SO* many kooks.
Corrine must be a huge lady to be able to reach around Hillary’s bohunkus!
Apparently not members of "The Club." Otherwise they would not have spent a single day in jail.
To some, myself included, the loss of voting rights survives the expiration of the incarceration, and in fact that is the law in Florida. In other words, the permanent loss of the right to vote is part of the so-called “debt to society.”
