John Grosvenor Rowland was a highly popular three-term governor of Connecticut, but his powerful position led him astray and into a 10-month prison stay.
Rowland, a Republican, led his state from 1995-2004, when he resigned his high office.
Reports of political graft were at first denied by the governor, but finally he plead guilty to tax and mail fraud charges after some of his aides began to spill the beans.
Following his prison stay plus four more months of house arrest, he began to put his life back together and today heads economic development for the city of Waterbury, CT.
