Micheal Vick spent 19 months in club Fed before catching a chain on early release in May 2009, per ESPN. Vick had lost all his money and was jobless. So, the disgraced quarterback went on a charm offensive to rehabilitate his image, talk about doing time, and promote his book, "Finally Free."
Vick had discovered that transferring from Atlanta Falcons No. 7 to Leavenworth felon No. 33765-183 was no biggie. During an interview with "Highly Questionable," Vick said being fresh meat on day one "was rough." However, knowing that everything on the outside was carrying on as usual without him frightened Vick way more. "Your life stopped," he said. "That's the scary part." Vick boasted that his juice card helped him become a shot caller, ensuring his safety at all times, and claimed 70% of inmates believed he should've been free.
Vick knew "deep down" the dogfighting operation was "morally wrong," but said he'd no clue it could lead to people "losing their freedom." He said he wasn't "bitter" about being banged up, though, because it helped him "grow." Vick shared he'd also helped his fellow prisoners grow by giving the grapes on how to improve their illegal sports gambling odds. "They had their little own brackets and little things going on, getting insight from me," he told USA Today. "I gave it to 'em. I can't say I was always right. I was right a majority of the time."
