What awaits Crundwell behind bars
Former Dixon comptroller will go from luxury to a metal bunk-bed, a 12-cents-an-hour job
DIXON – The good ride is over for Rita Crundwell.
Last week, the disgraced city comptroller became known as federal inmate 44540-424 after she was ordered to serve a prison sentence in a case that officials have called the largest municipal fraud in U.S. history.
She will soon rest her head on a metal bunk-bed in a small cell or dormitory, as opposed to the ornate, king-sized wooden bed with a carved steer head that federal marshals sold from her home along U.S. Route 52.
