Rose to Be Moved to Halfway House Today
Former Cincinnati Red manager Pete Rose will leave prison today after the first part of a sentence for tax offenses.
The major leagues’ all-time hits leader served five months in a federal prison camp in Marion, Ill. He is to spend three months in a Cincinnati halfway house while he helps teach physical education to elementary students.
A federal judge imposed the sentence in July, ordering Rose to “return to his roots” by performing 1,000 hours of community service work at five inner-city schools and a youth center.
“I think he’ll do very well,” said Cecil Good, assistant superintendent of the Cincinnati public school system.
“He’s very open. He’s quite articulate. And he’s got a Hall of Fame-type of background, I think that will contribute quite a lot.”
