...for Nagin, 58, was ordered to report to federal prison Sept. 8. Nagin, also ordered to pay restitution of $82,000, was found guilty Feb. 12 of fraud, bribery and related charges involving crimes that took place before and after Katrina devastated the city in August 2005.

This is a joke compared to corruption in India.

The court previously calculated Nagin's take at more than $500,000.

Nagin received several letters of support, including from members of his family. His wife, Seletha, asked for Nagin to remain out of jail until allegations of prosecutorial misconduct can be fully investigated.

The letter by Nagin's wife also details the family's financial ruin and personal anguish.

"We are mentally and financially drained," she wrote in her four-page letter dated July 1. "We have exhausted our savings, borrowed from family, gone on public assistance (for the first time ever) and even had to file bankruptcy to avoid being homeless. We have even sold much of our furniture and all of our jewelry with the exception of our wedding rings."

Ahhhh.. if only JJ, MK, Jagan, Sonia, Vadra, Yiddy could be forced in to a similar situation....Indian politicians will learn something.
