Don Siegelman, the former Alabama governor, is expected to return to federal prison by 2 p.m. Tuesday to serve out a sentence for fraud and bribery.
Siegelman was sentenced last month to six and a half years in prison after a jury convicted him of trading $500,000 for a state board appointment. The Guardian reported the ex-governor traveled to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. last week to try to lobby for a presidential pardon.
