Ex-Gov. Blagojevich started rock band in Colorado prison

(Denver Post) At different times in his colorful life, Rod Blagojevich has been a Golden Gloves boxer, an attorney and disgraced former governor of Illinois. Now behind bars in a federal penitentiary in suburban Denver, Blagojevich has become a tutor, mentor and the lead singer in an Elvis Presley-inspired group of convicted musicians.

Blagojevich, 59, in 2012 began serving a 14-year sentence on corruption charges stemming from his offer of President Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat in a political insider deal.

At the Federal Correctional Institution in Englewood, he has led the “Jailhouse Rockers,” a name taken from one of Presley’s biggest hits: “Jailhouse Rock,” released in 1957.
