Former state schools superintendent Linda Schrneko begins her eight-year sentence Monday at a federal women's prison in Tallahassee, Fla.
Schrenko pleaded guilty in May to her role in the embezzlement of more than $600,000 intended for deaf and honors students.
Authorities say some of the money was funneled into her unsuccessful Republican campaign for governor, and she spent about $9,300 for a facelift.
Her attorney had requested the low-security prison because there are no federal prisons for women in Georgia.
Schrenko is a former teacher and the first woman elected to a statewide, partisan office in Georgia.
