MEMPHIS, TN - Former State Senator John Ford is scheduled to report to federal prison in Pollock, Louisiana on Monday, April 28, 2008.
Ford was convicted in April 2007 on bribery charges; he took more than $55,000 to influence votes in the Tennessee legislature. Ford was indicted during an FBI undercover operation, "Operation Tennessee Waltz," which worked to expose public corruption.
The United States Penitentiary in Pollock is a high-security facility in central Louisiana, which houses male offender. A satellite prison camp located next to the main facility houses minimum security offenders. The prison is surrounded by the Kisatchie National Forest, and is about 15 miles south of Alexandria, LA.
Ford is ordered to report to the prison by 2:00 p.m. He was sentenced to 5 and 1/2 years for the crime.

“Ford was indicted during an FBI undercover operation, “Operation Tennessee Waltz,” which worked to expose public corruption.”
....when it comes to public corruption, the Ford family knows how to do it. Good to see that another one is finally doing some time.

They will be served up as soon as John hears that unmistakable CLANG of the prison door slamming shut behind him. That is now 13 minutes away.
