A weekend in jail is what former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick served for violating 14 paroles.
Kilpatrick made his exit from the Michigan Corrections Department on Monday morning in the city he once served as mayor after entering the facility on Friday.
The violation in question includes not disclosing all of his financial transactions. He was convicted in 2008 in a text message scandal which revealed an affair with an aide.
According to Kilpatrick's lawyer Todd Flood, speaking to WWJ Newsradio 920, the mayor spent his jail stay by being positive and "wanted to get this weekend over and get in with this trial."
Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan said Kilpatrick's weekend stay was served in isolation and had no visitors.
Upon his release, the former mayor took to Facebook to quote Nelson Mandela.
Kilpatrick wrote, "I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest ... But I can rest only for a moment for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended."
Kilpatrick will remain under house arrest and must not contact his wife and three sons, who have relocated to Texas.
According to the Associated Press, Kilpatrick owes Detroit $855,000 in restitution.
