Overview
- Joe Exotic was moved to the prison’s Special Housing Unit last week after posts in his name appeared online, his attorney said.
- Prison officials have not identified which post triggered the discipline, and the Special Housing Unit is a disciplinary isolation unit where stays can vary.
- His lawyer says he has not spoken with him since the transfer and hopes he could be out in about 15 days, though there is no guarantee.
- Joe’s team says an acquaintance shared the posts at his request, which the facility disapproved of.
- He is serving a 21-year federal sentence for a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin, while his lawyers press a pardon bid with President Donald Trump and allege a wrongful conviction.
