Former Cleveland Councilman Kenneth Johnson walks to the John F. Seiberling Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse for the start of his trial in Akron, July 21, 2021. Johnson, who was convicted of corruption charges, on Tuesday asked for compassionate release from prison.CLEVELAND, Ohio—

A three-judge panel of 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in May ruled against Johnson’s request to be released on bond whileJohnson wrote in an application filed in court on Tuesday that he suffers from arthritis in his knee, sleep apnea and a severe blood-clotting disorder. He also wrote that he suffers from “long COVID,” which causes him “periodic confusion and memory loss.”

. In fiscal year 2020, judges across the country granted compassionate releases in 25.7% of cases, but most of those inmates were released because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That year, more than 12 times the amount of inmates were released compared to 2019. In Ohio courts that year, only four compassionate releases were granted that were not COVID-19 related.

A jury also found he underpaid his taxes and steered grant money to keep his adopted sons on the payroll of the Buckeye-Shaker Square Development Corp. that Johnson helped fund as a councilman.
