Michael Vick is making 12 cents (12 cents too much) an hour while he is serving his time at Leavenworth Prison for his involvement in a dogfighting ring.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank must be keeping in touch with the football star and said that Vick is doing the best he can in the joint and when not writing letters or doing the dishes, he is playing quarterback in the courtyard.

Vick, who received a whopping $37 million signing bonus from the Falcons, was ordered to return nearly $20 million to the team. Don’t be looking for the wayward QB to be back in action any time soon. His release date is July 2009.

Vick might want to donate his dishwashing funds to an animal charity of some sort. For more details on Vick’s legal trouble and sentencing, check it out here.

The U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson has sentenced Michael Vick to 23 months in federal prison. This comes from Vick’s involvement in a dogfighting operation.

The sentencing took place this morning. There were many supporters and protesters present outside the courthouse along with 25 television trucks. Hundreds of animal activist rights protesters milled around the area.

The judge felt that the NFL football quarterback had been less than candid about the killing of pitbulls and his drug use. Vick, in a black and white jail issued jumpsuit, agreed with the judge that he had made some bad decisions. He told the judge that he was willing to accept responsibility for his actions and live with the consequences.

The prison sentence will keep the fallen star behind bars for at least 19-1/2 months – or until 85% of his sentence has been served. He could have received a lesser sentence of 12-18 months but the judge felt that his failure to accept responsibility warranted the near maximum sentence for the crime.

The Atlanta Falcon player also received three years probation after his sentence is served.
