Jesse Jackson Jr. reports to prison
Next Donk on deck...Kwame Kilpatrick will soon start serving his 28 year prison sentence.(CNN) -- After a day of conflicting information about his whereabouts, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has indeed reported to federal prison to serve a 30-month sentence, a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman said Tuesday.
Jackson -- once a rising Democratic star whose political career imploded over the use of campaign finances to support lavish personal spending -- entered a federal prison camp in Butner, North Carolina, on Tuesday morning, bureau spokesman Ed Ross said.
Jackson's spokeswoman earlier had said that he reported to prison on Monday, but prison officials told CNN that Jackson was not in custody until Tuesday morning. The bureau said it could not address the discrepancy.
The former Illinois congressman had been ordered to report to a federal prison camp or correctional institution no earlier than November 1. The Bureau of Prisons said it couldn't comment on why Jackson reported earlier than ordered.
