Hastert Released From Federal Prison
The former Speaker is back in Illinois to serve the rest of his sentence.
I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me

CHICAGO, IL — Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert was reportedly released from a Minnesota federal prison Tuesday morning and is now in a "residential re-entry program" in Chicago, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Hastert was sentenced to 15 months for lying to the FBI and evading federal rules governing bank transactions after paying a sex abuse accuser "hush money" to keep the allegations quiet. At his April 2016 sentencing, Hastert admitted to sexually abusing boys during his time as a teacher and coach at Yorkville High School, prompting Judge Thomas Durkin to call him a "serial child molester."
In May, another accuser came forward, filing a civil lawsuit alleging that Hastert, now 75, molested him in 1973 or 1974. The accuser says he was just 9 or 10 years old when he was sexually assaulted by Hastert in a school restroom. Another accuser is suing Hastert for the remainder of the "hush money" he says the former Speaker agreed to pay.
Hastert's sentence officially ends in August but he was eligible to be released earlier to home confinement or a halfway house.

This is "NOT" the story of a convict who had told his love to tie a ribbon book to a tree outside of town. I know because I wrote the song one morning in 15 minutes with the late lyrical genius Irwin Levine. The genesis of this idea came from the age old folk tale about a Union prisoner of war--who sent a letter to his girl that he was coming home from a confederate POW camp in Georgia.... Anything about a criminal is pure fantasy....
