Michael Vick may be out of federal prison by next Christmas.  He apparently has just applied and possibly been accepted to an in prison drug rehabilitation program at Ft Leavenworth in a minimum security prison.  The rehab program is 12 months and could see Vick released early (at the conclusion of the program).  It might just be possible that smoking the joint that made him test positive for marijuana in September was the smartest legal maneuver he made to insure that he would be out of jail within 1 year.

If so, that upcoming Virginia trial will be very important if he wants to get out of jail and not serve a back to back sentence in state prison that might prevent him from only missing the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
