The Case for a Second Chance for Michael Vick

The Case for a Second Chance for Michael Vick

Later this week, Michael Vick, once the N.F.L.’s most exciting player, will leave a federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., to serve the final two months of his sentence in home confinement in Hampton, Va.
This is a giant step in the life of Vick, a young man who once appeared to have the world on a string and the N.F.L. in the palm of his hand.

Vick’s world went to pieces in December 2007 when he was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison after he admitted bankrolling a dogfighting ring.
