Jesse Jackson Jr. Given Projected Prison Release Date
If all goes well during his 2.5-year federal prison sentence, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. could be looking at a December 31, 2015 release date.
The Associated Press reports that the Federal Bureau of Prisons has listed Jackson’s projected date on its website, based on the assumption that the former congressman receives the maximum reduction of 54 days a year for good behavior.
This past Tuesday, Jackson, 48, entered a North Carolina prison to begin serving time for illegally spending $750,000 of campaign money on lavish items ranging from cigars to a gold watch.
