Monica Conyers' stint at Camp Cupcake is almost fully baked.

The imprisoned ex-Detroit City Council member is expected to be released as early as Dec. 10 from a West Virginia federal prison dubbed Camp Cupcake, so named because of its low security and mountainous setting. The wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, could move into a halfway house for six months while finishing a 37-month sentence for bribery, said a source with knowledge of the situation.
