Rep. Jackson Jr. Taken into Custody

Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has been taken into federal custody to begin serving his 30-month prison sentence.

Bureau of Prison spokesman Chris Burke told The Associated Press that Jackson (D-Ill.) was taken into custody Tuesday morning, but provided no further details.

The Chicago Tribune had reported earlier Monday that a North Carolina prison had turned the disgraced congressman away.
