Actor Wesley Snipes reported to a medium-security Pennsylvania prison Thursday to begin a three-year sentence for failing to file tax returns.
The 48-year-old actor is now incarcerated in McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Lewis Run, officials said.
Snipes' attorney said he is appealing his client's misdemeanor convictions for not filing tax returns in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
Snipes was acquitted of felony charges.
Snipes is nervous, he said, but hopeful that his prayers will be answered.

Wow...one Democrat Tax Cheat in jail......MILLIONS MORE TO GO!
The government vampire finally sucked the blood out of him...

I’m sure Wesley Snipes will be appointed Secretary of Treasury in whatever prison he is to be ‘rehabilitated’.
hey he is takin his medicine.....be safe Wesley
Obama will pardon him.
Why is the government being so damn hard on him?
Fine him for late filing, which already exists and take his loot, to the extent he owes.
Well said. Snipes is a hero as far as I'm concerned. He opted out of the Communist Progressive Income Tax.
meanwhile, Geithner and Rangel walk free.

That should have read Charlie Rangel.
Too bad, Charlie Rangel isn’t his cell mate.
Why is Rangle not reporting, ... Geitner ... etc?
This is a good time to remind people of three things:
(1) If we didn’t have an income tax, he would still be a free man today.
(2) This is just another example of the price the income tax imposes on society.
(3) For most of our contry’s history, we did not have an income tax.
Well in my book he did nothing wrong. The income tax is theft pure and simple and he should be applauded for trying to avoid it.
