George Ryan was released from prison before dawn Wednesday, stopping only briefly at a halfway house before he was allowed to travel home to serve the rest of his sentence for corruption. By midday, the 78-year-old was sitting in the living room of his spacious home in a leafy northern Illinois neighborhood in Kankakee beaming and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, said Ryan's attorney and also a former governor, Jim Thompson. Ryan, a Republican, served five-plus behind bars for multiple corruption convictions, walking out of his federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind.
