    Former teachers' union boss begins sentence at Kentucky prison hospital BY LARRY LEBOWITZ
    Pat Tornillo, the one-time political dynamo who led the Miami-Dade teachers union for four decades, only to have his legacy tarnished by greed and fraud, surrendered this morning to begin his sentence at a federal prison hospital in Lexington, Ky.

    Based on his declining condition and the length of the sentence, the 78-year-old union boss will likely spend the rest of his life in the 2,000-bed prison hospital, according to his own doctors and lawyers.
