An imprisoned GW alumnus isn’t letting jail time stop him from creating his own super PAC, the Center for Public Integrity reported this week.

Adam Savader, who was sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2013 for cyberstalking and extortion, launched the Second Chance PAC with 10 months left in his sentence, surprising political activists familiar with the groups that can fundraise and spend money without any limits to support presidential candidates.

Savader is the treasurer, custodian of records and “founder / director,” the report said. His father, Mitchell Savader, is the chief executive officer.

“I’ve seen former convicted people come out of prison and run for Congress again, but never saw someone set up a committee while in prison,” Brett Kappel, a campaign finance lawyer at law firm Akerman LLP, told the Center for Public Integrity.

Savader has previously worked on political campaigns for Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Between May 2012 and February 2013, Savader sent anonymous threatening messages to 15 women, according to a 2013 release from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
