Vick to spend Thanksgiving holiday in rural Virginia jail

I was able to follow the story of Michael Vick, and it saddens me that he spend his Thanksgiving in the jail. Although he wouldn't be earning that if he did not violated anything.

He was a bit 'cruel' to animals. For everyone who didn't know what happened, Michael Vick was engage in Dog Fighting and here in the States its a big NO NO to practice on those inhuman act. Dogs or animals are well protected here and it's a good move and rules from the government.

In the news:

The Northern Neck Regional Jail doesn't have the comforts of Michael Vick's Georgia mansion, but at least the disgraced quarterback will get to enjoy a hot turkey dinner this Thanksgiving. And, perhaps, a non-contact visit with a loved one.

Vick unexpectedly turned himself in Monday and will be housed at the jail until his sentencing on a federal dogfighting charge in three weeks. He faces up to five years in prison.

Jail officials wouldn't discuss their new celebrity inmate, but a peek inside the facility provided a glimpse of what life for the Atlanta Falcons quarterback will be like in the coming days. And it's not exactly festive.

The jail houses inmates charged with offenses from misdemeanors to murder. About 40 of the approximately 425 current inmates are women, who are housed separately. Some inmates are confined to small cells, while others are housed in dorms.
