New Orleans ex-Mayor Ray Nagin (D) is due to report to prison Monday to begin serving his 10-year sentence for corruption.
Nagin must report by noon local time to a federal facility in Texarkana, Texas, according to New Orleans TV station WDSU.
The former mayor was convicted in February on charges of bribery and money laundering for accepting money and free trips from local businessmen during the time New Orleans was struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina.
Nagin recently asked for a public defender to appeal his corruption conviction, telling a federal court that he had just $23.65 in his bank account.
