Federal convict Monica Conyers could be coming home soon, literally.
She's now in an unidentified halfway house in Southeast Michigan and soon may be able to return home with family, a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman tells Christine Ferretti of The Detroit News.
Conyers, the wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, was moved last week from a West Virginia federal prison to a residential re-entry facility in Eastern District of Michigan that's overseen by the Detroit Community Corrections office.
"She could potentially transfer to home confinement. . . . It depends on the situation and the program needs," spokesman Chris Burke said. "This is a possibility for most inmates, and most do take advantage of the program." . . .
Inmates sometimes return to their former residence or they stay with family members, Burke said.
The former Detroit councilwoman is serving a 37-month bribery sentence that ends in mid-May.
She entered a federal women's prison camp in West Virginia in September 2010 after pleading guilty to accepting at least $6,000 for her deciding vote on the 2007 Synagro Technologies sludge contract.
