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.

It may be the type of offense that drives the parole time.
Years ago, right after Obama's policies drove me to sell my business, I worked in a retail store and was robbed by a man with a lengthy history of petty crime. He received a 62 year sentence and would not be allowed to apply for parole for 53 years. This was on Federal charges. Since the guy was in his late 40s he will be over 100 years old before he can apply for parole.
Yes. The basic question dealt with the post-release loss of rights.
Sorry, my turn to misread and incorrectly post.
I agree with the loss of rights as a consequence of being under sentence.
Including voting, bearing arms, being free form search and seizure, the lot.
Once the sentence is complete, however...
Please note my use of the phrase “permanently revoked”.
Thank you.
