Rezko Cooperation Gets Him Better Jail Cell: End of Solitary Confinement

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

The convicted businessman -- poised to become a crucial witness in the massive corruption case against ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich -- was quietly moved out of a downtown jail and into another facility last month, the Sun-Times learned Monday.


Authorities seeking Rezko's cooperation pushed for the move after Rezko complained about being held in the tough confines of solitary imprisonment, known as "the hole," even as he was providing information to prosecutors.

Records show Rezko was released from the Metropolitan Correctional Center downtown on Dec. 16.

No word yet from Valerie Jarrett on this one.
