Family members spent about an hour inside the jail before leaving without comment.

Today is Kilpatrick's first full day serving his jail sentence. For breakfast, he reportedly had a bagel, cereal and orange juice. 

Tuesday, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge David Groner sentenced Kilpatrick to serve 120 days in jail as part of his punishment for lying under oath in a police whistleblower lawsuit.
