Sheldon Silver Ordered Back to Prison
Former New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has been ordered back to prison, days after being released of furlough.
Authorities overruled the decision to allow Silver to serve out the remainder of his sentence under home confinement and ordered him to return to Otisville Prison by Thursday afternoon, NBC New York reported.
Silver was initially released on Thursday, just eight months into his six-year sentence on federal corruption charges. He served in the New York State Assembly from 1977 until his arrest in 2015. He was selected as speaker in 1994 and served in that position for two decades.
