WASHINGTON – Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced today to 30 months behind bars and his wife, Sandi, got a year in prison for separate felonies involving the misspending of about $750,000 in campaign funds.
The Jacksons will be allowed to serve their sentences one at a time, with Jackson Jr. going first, based on the wishes of the family as expressed by Dan Webb, an attorney for Sandi Jackson.
Jackson Jr. will report to prison on or after Nov. 1, the judge said.
In addition to the 2.5 years in prison, Jackson Jr. was sentenced to three years of supervised release. Sandi Jackson was ordered to serve 12 months of supervised release following her prison term.

Well isn’t that convenient.
Prison now.....Jessie and his whore can watch the kids.
Like Romeo and Juliet, The Whore Mastering Pimp and his whore.
"on or after"??
So he can report in, say, 2028?
People in IL never get enough of a Jackson, from Andrew in 1828 to Jesse, Jr. in 2012. They truly believe!
The good news for Junior is that he can still get elected Mayor in DC...
Please do not confuse we hardworking conservative people with the malignant tumor on the Northeast corner of our state.
If they weren’t famous, would they get the same kind of consideration for the children?
I guess he’ll be staying with friends
Of course not. That is what makes my blood boil, they should be afforded the same consideration John Q., and Jane V. Public would get under the exact same circumstances, which is to say, none at all...

Not enough prison time for the Jackson family felons.
