As former Prince George's County Executive Jack B. Johnson (D) faces years in prison, officials expect he would trade his Mitchellville mansion for a dining hall, serving food in a federal facility alongside the general population.
"There's no difference whether the individual is a former public official [or not]," said Edmond Ross, spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Inmates are given a job, such as working in food service or maintenance, and are expected to assimilate into the general population, Ross said.
Johnson pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to felony counts of extortion and evidence-tampering, stemming from alleged deals with developers during his eight years as county executive from 2002 to 2010. He faces up to 20 years in federal jail, although U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein said the government is seeking 11 to 13 years.
No special consideration for Johnson in jail
