Ravenel to Report to Prison
Former state Treasurer Thomas Ravenel has received his federal prison assignment and reporting date.
Ravenel is scheduled to report to the Federal Correctional Institution at Jesup, in southeastern Georgia, by noon May 29, his attorney confirmed Wednesday.
The reporting date came as Ravenel in March asked to report to prison early, giving up on an extension that would have kept him free for an additional five months.

Thomas Ravenel should be in prison by the end of the month.
Defense attorney Bart Daniel told The (Charleston) Post and Courier that Ravenel plans to report to a federal prison in Jesup, Georgia, by May 29th to begin serving a ten-month sentence on a drug charge.
The medium-security prison is about 65 miles from Savannah, Georgia.
Ravenel pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to possess
cocaine with the intent to distribute. The 45-year-old developer turned down an offer to delay his prison report date, saying he wanted to get his time behind bars finished so he could continue his life.
