Former governor Rod Blagojevich leaves his Ravenswood home and heads to court on December 7, 2011 to be sentenced by Judge James Zagel.
March 8, 2012 (CHICAGO) -- Rod Blagojevich reports to a federal prison in Colorado in one week.
His spokesman said the former governor will make a public statement before he begins his 14-year sentence. But that spokesman hasn't said when that might happen.
Blagojevich attorneys have said he wants to enter prison in a dignified way, without any media frenzy. That fueled speculation he might leave Chicago days in advance. However, his spokesman says
Blagojevich never intended to do that.
