Sonda To Be Released From Jail December 23

Former DES governor will be released four months early for good behavior

SANDERSON, DES--Former Deschire Governor Jane Sonda (NAT), who was impeached and later imprisoned for a corruption scandal that brought down several members of her administration, is slated to be released from jail nearly four months early on December 23rd.

Sonda went to jail back in April. She was originally sentenced to 13 months in a minimum-security facility northeast of Berivian. However, after applying in July, she was granted parole and will now be released December 23rd, just two days before Christmas.

A spokeswoman for the Sonda family says the former governor is "elated" she will be able to spend Christmas with her family. There is no word where the Sonda family will be celebrating the holiday, however.

Once out of jail, Sonda will be on probation for two years. She is also not allowed to leave the state for one year.
