ST. LOUIS — Former County Executive Steve Stenger must report to a federal prison camp in South Dakota on Sept. 21 to begin serving his 46-month prison sentence, according to a federal court filing on Wednesday.

The minimum security camp in Yankton — a town of about 14,500 on the Missouri River — is almost 600 miles from St. Louis, and houses 479 inmates on a former college campus.

Stenger’s days will be governed by a 69-page prison handbook that controls everything from when he makes his bed and empties his trash to how many pairs of prison-issued socks he can possess (six).
