Hathaway begins federal prison stay in WestVirginia
DETROIT (AP) -- Former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway has followed Martha Stewart's footsteps and begun serving her federal sentence at a minimum security lockup in West Virginia.
The Detroit News and WXYZ-TV say Hathaway reported Tuesday to the Federal Prison Camp at Alderson.
It's sometimes known as "Camp Cupcake," and its more recent prisoners have included ex-Detroit City Council member Monica Conyers. The wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers was doing time for bribe-taking.
Hathaway is serving a sentence of a year and a day for bank fraud. She hid assets and misled a bank while trying to negotiate a short sale on her Grosse Pointe Park home.
Other Alderson prisoners have included two women who tried to shoot then-President Gerald Ford -- Sara Jane Moore and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme.
