Former Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher is asking to be released early from a private correctional facility in Tulsa.

Prosecutors objected Wednesday. They argued the judge already has been "extremely lenient” to a bribe taker who "demonstrated arrogance and disregard” throughout court proceedings.

Oklahoma County District Judge Kenneth Watson has set a hearing for July 9.

Fisher on March 2 began serving six months at the private facility. He is on a work-release program there, meaning he is allowed to leave the facility to work during the day.

He was sentenced after he pleaded no contest in February to accepting bribes. He will be on probation for another four years and six months after his release.
