Bernard Kilpatrick released from federal prison
Detroit — Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's father was released from a Texas federal prison Wednesday after serving almost 10 months for a tax crime.
Bernard Kilpatrick, 73, was transferred to a halfway house after leaving the low-security FCI Seagoville federal prison near Dallas, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
A bureau spokesman would not say where Kilpatrick is living but he is being supervised by officials in Dallas.
His release date is Feb. 6.
"He was in good spirits," said his attorney John Shea. "I'm happy for him and I'm glad that part of this is behind him and he can move on."
Shea was not aware of Kilpatrick having any problems behind bars.
"When you're in that circumstance, you're focused more on getting through it than causing trouble," he said.
Federal law allows inmates to spend the last six months of a sentence in a halfway house.
"That is designed to help in their transition back into public life,"
