In an apparent attempt to speed his return to football, Michael Vick began serving time in prison yesterday, more than three weeks before he is scheduled to be sentenced after pleading guilty to federal dogfighting charges. He will spend Thanksgiving at the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, VA. Michael is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson on December 10 in Richmond, and by beginning his jail time, he will be credited with time served. According to the sentencing guidelines, Vick faces from a year to 18 months in prison.
I can’t imagine what the next year holds for Michael. Hopefully he’s already learned his lessons, but over the course of the next 12 months, hopefully he’ll become a new and better man.
