Jackson is requesting facilities that would keep him close to his wife and children during incarceration.

If he serves time at a minimum security facility, he's asking to do time in Montgomery Alabama, because it's the closest such facility.

If he's assigned to a federal correctional institution, he's requesting Butner-Low in North Carolina.

Jackson's wife, Sandi will also be sentenced on Wednesday.
