Ray didn’t get his chocolate city.
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin arrived at federal prison in Texas on Monday only minutes before the noon deadline to report for the start of his 10-year sentence on corruption charges.
With a phalanx of TV camera crews lining the road across from Federal Correctional Institution Texarkana in Texarkana, Texas, Nagin pulled into the prison parking lot in his white Ford Focus, with his wife, Seletha, sons Jarin and Jeremy and teenage daughter as passengers. He arrived at a guard house at the minimum-security prison’s entrance with about 10 minutes to spare.
