Kwame Kilpatrick Spent the Weekend Behind Bars for Parole Violations

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was convicted in 2008 for obstruction of justice, spent this past weekend in prison for 14 parole violations, a state corrections spokesman said Friday.

Kilpatrick reported to the Detroit Reentry Center Friday afternoon and released from custody early this Monday morning, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan said.

He still owes Detroit $855,000 in restitution and is required to report gifts and other income as a condition of his parole, something officials say he has failed to do on a number of occasions.

Kwame Kilpatrick May Face 30 Years for Racketeering and 370,000 Text Messages

We mentioned last month that Kwame Kilpatrick has much to face before he has any peace. It surely appears he as spun some serious threads of damage control on the case against him. There is so much proof to show, we are not sure how he will elude this one and he probably won’t.

WXYZ reports the prosecution has a list of 500 witnesses prepared for the trial, but it’s the 370,000 text messages from the city’s phone service provider, obtained when Kilpatrick was in office, that will play a central role in the case, according to the Associated Press.

What’s AT2W’s Take on The Recent Kwame Kilpatrick Interviews on TJMS?

We wanted to give our take on the interviews that former mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick had with Tom Joyner on the TJMS.

Firstly, Kwame was noticeably thinner and very happy to be doing this interview. He mentioned that he lost 50 pounds in prison and that this was the best time of his life. Of course getting out of prison would make anyone a thrilled individual.

After the recent prison release of former mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick is now sitting down with TJMS and Tom Joyner to discuss his new book,

“Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick”

and his life in prison.

During the interview, you will notice a more slimmed down and cheerful Kilpatrick.

In some ways, he gives us candid information about his life and the controversy that led to his downfall as one of Detroit’s influential public figures in the city’s history.

The parole board of Michigan have voted to release Detroit’s former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from prison after more than a year behind bars for violating probation in a criminal case that forced him out of office in 2008.

Kilpatrick will be released no earlier than July 24th. His parole request was on hold due to the board chairman wanting more time to understand the federal corruption charges pending against the ex-mayor. Most people with with felonies are not granted parole. Go figure.
