Although she is only seven months into a 37-month prison sentence, Monica Conyers has asked a federal judge if she can serve out the rest of her time from home, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Conyers, the wife of Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, pleaded guilty to accepting bribes in 2009 and was sentenced to 37-months to be served starting in September of 2010 at Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia.
Recently she claimed that her sentence was unfair and the judge did not take into account her “age, education, vocational skill, employment record, family ties and responsibilities.”
According to experts who spoke with the Detroit Free Press, Conyers is facing an uphill battle in her fight for home confinement.
In the meantime, she will continue to serve out her sentence at the prison which is known as ‘Camp Cupcake’ by the locals due to its comfort and settings.
