JACKSON, Miss. - Former WorldCom Corp. chief Bernard Ebbers starts a 25-year federal prison sentence on Tuesday for his role in the $11 billion accounting fraud that toppled a company he had built from a tiny telecommunications firm to an industry giant.

Federal prison officials would not confirm Monday where Ebbers will serve his sentence, but the two closest prisons to his home are the Yazoo City Federal Correctional Facility in Mississippi or the Oakdale Correctional Complex in Louisiana.

Ebbers on Monday was at his upscale, brick and stucco home in a gated community in the Jackson suburb of Ridgeland. He refused to answer any questions and told an Associated Press reporter to leave.

2. Can you imagine? Looking at 25 years in federal prison, where

there is NO parole...

Unimaginable.

He deserves it.

3. I hope he dies there, and painfully too

He's the moral equivalent of an Al Qaeda terrorist.

and is sent to live out his years on an exclusive Republican island for the rest of his life?
