The son of civil rights’ activist, Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jr. has recently been sentenced to 30 months in jail. A little more than a year ago, Jr. was a young Democratic congressman that worked to increase the federal minimum wage. Based in Chicago, he did whatever was necessary to help the less fortunate. Including spending $750,000 from his campaign on personal items. It seems that “less fortunate” included himself.
He wasn’t alone. His wife has been given 12 months by the same court, however, the judge showed a little sympathy by allowing them to serve their sentences one at a time. On or after November 1st, Jr. will have to be report to prison and as soon as he is released, his wife will have 30 days to surrender.
