Blagojevich stepping into another world

CHICAGO (MCT) — When he surrenders at a federal prison outside Denver this week, Rod Blagojevich will trade his beautiful bungalow on a corner lot in Ravenswood Manor for a dormitory or small cell with a metal-frame bunk bed.

Blagojevich made close to $150,000 a year as Illinois governor and favored expensive suits, but in prison he will wear khaki pants and shirts and earn no more than 40 cents an hour working in the kitchen or as a janitor or landscaper.
