HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — Suspended NFL player Michael Vick is back at his home in Hampton, Va., a day after being released from a federal prison in Kansas.
Four cars pulled up to the five-bedroom brick home at the end of a cul-de-sac, led by a black minivan carrying Vick.
Vick had spent 19 months at the prison in Leavenworth, Kan., after his conviction for financing a dogfighting operation.
The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback will spend the next two months under home confinement wearing an electronic monitor and working a $10-an-hour job as a construction laborer. He's scheduled to be released from federal custody on July 20, and then faces three more years of supervised probation.
Vick's ultimate goal is a return to the NFL. Chief among his challenges is rehabilitating his image. He needs to convince the public and Commissioner Roger Goodell that he is truly sorry for his crime, and that he is prepared to live a different life.
