Have long wondered why it seems to be that only Illinois politicians ever get sent to prison over corruption issues. Well, maybe the occasional Louisiana one. . .

A Connecticut governor went to prison twice for corruption. It was a huge state, and then national scandal. Check out John Rowland. His first jail term was 10 months in 2006. He'd resigned in 2004 because of the corruption charges. Then, he had a whole new set of charges, and was sentenced to 30 months, went in 2015 and got out in 2018.
