Cunningham Moving to Arizona Prison
By Associated Press
SAN DIEGO --
Incarcerated former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham was at a federal
transit facility in Oklahoma on Friday en route to a low-security
Arizona prison work camp where he is scheduled to serve the remainder
of his federal sentence.
Cunningham, a Republican from the ritzy San Diego suburb of Rancho
Santa Fe, pleaded guilty in November 2005 to accepting $2.4 million in
bribes from defense contractors in exchange for government contracts
and other favors.
He held seats on the powerful House intelligence and appropriations
committees.
Cunningham was sentenced last March in San Diego to eight years and
four months in prison.
The 65-year-old former Navy flying ace had requested a berth at a
prison in California's Central Valley, but his attorney, Lee Blalack,
said the Bureau of Prisons decided to assign him to a minimum-security
work camp outside Tucson, Ariz.
The prison, about 400 miles east of San Diego, is attached to the
medium-security Federal Correctional Institution Tucson.

What's going on is that this opens up the cell for a soon to be "former
high ranking" DEMocRAT in congress for their big "career" move.
