SIX MONTHS: Ex-legislator was convicted in corruption probe.

Former Alaska state Rep. Beverly Masek began serving her six-month prison sentence this week at the minimum-security Federal Correctional Institution-Victorville in Adelanto, Calif.

The prison camp for women is in the desert south of Barstow and about 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles. A medium-security facility for men is in the same U.S. Bureau of Prisons complex.

Masek, 46, a Republican who served five terms in the Legislature from Willow, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of bribery conspiracy for accepting more than $4,000 in illegal payments from former Veco Corp. Chief Executive Bill Allen and his son Mark. She was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline in September.
