Description"Former Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci was released from a federal prison in New Jersey on Wednesday and traveled to Boston, where he'll spend his days promoting a luxury hotel and his nights sleeping in shared quarters at a halfway house.

The former mayor -- known for his showmanship and array of toupees -- was released about 3 a.m., Fort Dix officer Tim Lewis said. Cianci has been held there since December 2002, after his conviction on a charge of racketeering conspiracy for reigning over what prosecutors said was rampant corruption at City Hall.

Cianci, 66, reported to the Coolidge House in Boston about 9:30 a.m. He was accompanied by his daughter, Nicole, and wore a baseball hat and sunglasses as he slipped in through a back door without answering questions from reporters."
