Former Rep. Duncan Hunter to serve sentence at West Texas prison camp

[Zorro]

Former Rep. Duncan Hunter will serve his 11-month sentence for conspiring to misuse campaign funds at a West Texas prison camp, his attorney said Friday.

Hunter is due to report to Federal Correctional Institute La Tuna on Jan. 4. The prison is in the El Paso suburb of Anthony, on the Texas-New Mexico state line. He will serve in its adjacent minimum-security satellite camp, according to CQ Roll Call.

Hunter’s attorney, Devin Burstein, on Friday confirmed the report that Hunter had been assigned to the facility.

Hunter fought a 60-count indictment for more than a year before pleading guilty to a conspiracy charge in December.

3. I was at La Tuna

In 1994, I toured the facility as part of a research paper when I was a freshman at UTEP. Don’t remember much except walking around and seeing the inmates and thinking “I never want to end up here.”

10. Good, I was hoping it wasn't one of those

prisons where he would get off easy since he was a politician with connections.

4. Great!!

5. It takes the reader all the way down to the bottom of the article to mention he's republican.

Of course, DUers already knew that, but the San Diego Union Tribune should be ashamed of themselves. If he had been a democrat, that would have been on the headline of the article.

6. Yes Duncan Hunter should have

been listed right away in the article as Former Rep, District 50, Republican, San Diego.

Duncan's wife is serving 8 months for stealing campaign funds.

Charming couple.

7. Typical republicans. eom

8. Can Trump pardon him?

9. Finally. The place doesn't have such good ratings from inmates who have been there,

and two inmates are suing the feds claiming this facility doesn't have adequate COVID protections.

11. Why does he get to wait until January?
