Scooter Libby has a new name: inmate number 28301-016. That’s according to the Bureau of Prisons, which is ready and waiting for Libby’s arrival.
After losing a motion earlier this month to delay his first day in prison, Libby’s currently trying a last ditch appeal before reporting to prison later this summer. If he wins, he’ll remain free until an appeals court decides whether to uphold the verdict against him; if he loses, only a pardon could save him from beginning to serve his 2 1/2 year sentence.
