Rod Blagojevich is going to prison for a long time no matter what and will be about 67 years old before he qualifies for early release.

Judge James Zagel sentenced the 54-year-old former governor to 14 years in prison and fined him $20,000.

Under strict federal rules, he'll have to serve 85% of the sentence. That means he'll have to serve at least 12 years.

Zagel gave Blagojevich until Feb. 16 to report to prison.

It'll take weeks for authorities to pick a suitable prison. It'll most likely be outside Illinois - possibly in Indiana or Wisconsin.

He'll likely go to a prison with minimal security. But his life would be highly regimented. That'll include a menial job at a wage of just 12 cents an hour.
