Jesse Jackson Jr. begins serving time

"I am happy to report that he is in good spirits, all things considered," said North Carolina Representative G.K. Butterfield, who accompanied Jackson to the prison, according to the statement.
It's nice that Jesse Jackson Jr. is feeling good about going to prison. I'm sure many of us feel the same way. It will be easier on the country too, knowing where Jesse is and not having to speculate why he is not in Congress and how his drug rehab is going. Jesse will be residing at the Butner, North Carolina federal pen for the next 2 1/2 years and after that it will be 3 years of supervised release.
