She is eligible for Dec. 10 release, move to halfway house to finish sentence for bribery
Detroit — Monica Conyers' stint at Camp Cupcake is almost fully baked.
The imprisoned ex-Detroit City Council president is expected to be released as early as Dec. 10 from a West Virginia federal prison dubbed Camp Cupcake because of its low security and mountainous setting.
The wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, could move into a halfway house for six months while she finishes a 37-month sentence for bribery, said a source with knowledge of the situation.
The imminent return of one of the most polarizing politicians in recent Detroit history triggered speculation about Conyers' future.
"She has no political base, and nobody is expecting or looking forward to her coming back and getting into the political arena," said political strategist Eric Foster of Foster McCollum White & Associates in Troy. "She's a toxic asset."
