Federal prosecutors are seeking six months in prison for Navarro for criminal contempt of Congress, which carries a mandatory minimum of one month behind bars.
Years ago, I interned with the local sheriff’s office. I spent most of my time there with the warrant team. They went out and arrested people with outstanding warrants. In doing so, I learned that after sentencing the convicted person voluntarily report to prison. They had to process a number of people who were sentenced to prison but never reported.
I, like you, expected people to be transferred from court to prison after sentencing. That was a shocking revelation for me.

Good to know. So my guess is this guy is never going to spend a single day in jail.
