Judge Changes Rose Prison Site to Marion, Ill.
Pete Rose will spend his five-month prison sentence for tax crimes at a minimum-security facility at Marion, Ill.
U.S. District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel on Friday changed his recommendation for Rose, who had been directed to report to a new facility at Ashland, Ky. It was later learned that the Ashland facility has not been completed.
Instead, Spiegel recommended that Rose report to the federal Correctional Institution Camp at Marion, adjacent to the famous maximum-security penitentiary in southern Illinois.
Rose’s lawyers also told Spiegel that he wants to begin serving the sentence as soon as possible. Spiegel gave Rose until Aug. 10 to report and allowed him to remain free so he could have arthroscopic knee surgery.
