The two admitted to a fraud scheme that prosecutors said drained millions of dollars from teachers over nearly a decade. They were sentenced in February.
Brady was given 27 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and George was given 12 months and 1 day in custody, plus six months on home confinement and three years of supervised release.
The Bureau of Prisons website now shows that Brady is at FCI Marianna in the Florida panhandle. The BOP shows that George is at FMC (Federal Medical Center) Carswell, in Fort Worth, Texas.
