Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is complaining the federal prison in Milan where he is incarcerated while awaiting sentencing doesn't have ice or proper exercise equipment to rehabilitate an injured knee, according to a Detroit News report.

The complaint was included in a bond motion filed by Kilpatrick's attorneys Monday that requests a release until sentencing, according to the report.

Kilpatrick alleges he injured his knee after slipping on the step of a U.S. Marshals van during a transport and that the prison isn't properly meeting his physical therapy needs.
