UPDATE: Monday, 4:30 p.m.: The U.S. Bureau of Prisons said that Camp was released from prison this afternoon.
By Allan Lengel ticklethewire.comU.S. District Judge Jack Camp Jr. of Atlanta, who created a big scandal after carrying on an affair with a stripper and getting busted for drugs in an FBI sting, is scheduled to be released from a federal prison in El Reno, Ok. on Monday.
Camp — aka. inmate number 62216-019– was sentenced to 30 days in prison on drug charges and for giving his government-issued laptop to a 27-year-old stripper who had a drug felony conviction and was working with the FBI.
His light sentence caused a stir and drew criticism from some people in the Atlanta community who felt he was given special treatment. Other critics claim the Justice Department screwed up the plea agreement, which opened the way for a lighter sentence.
Camp must serve 400 hours of community service and repay more than $30,000 for the cost of his case.
He will be on supervised release for a year.
The Reagan appointee lost his lifetime judicial appointment and surrendered his law license.
