Home confinement doesn’t mean former Governor George Ryan is confined to his home.
Chicago TV stations report that Ryan was spotted dining out last weekend at a restaurant more than 30 miles from his Kankakee home, where Ryan is serving out the remainder of his sentence on federal corruption charges.
Ryan’s attorney, former Governor Jim Thompson, says Ryan is allowed several hours each weekend to leave home and socialize with friends, as long as he lets the Bureau of Prisons know in advance where he is going.
