O.J. Simpson's prison - Lovelock Correctional Center, Nevada - outdoor space
Add to Lightbox DownloadThis is the Nevada prison former NFL star O.J. Simpson is hoping he will be released from on parole from after languishing there for nine years on armed robbery and kidnapping felonies. The 70-year-old felon, a sports icon of his day, has been serving a 33 year sentence at Lovelock Correctional Center since 2008, but is now eligible for parole. On Thursday (July 20) the Nevada Board Of Parole will convene to consider the case and if the hearing goes to plan Simpson could be released as early as October 1. These photos show the typical quarters Simpson is living in at the 1,680-inmate facility, which first opened in 1995 and has a staff of more than 200 corrections officers. Other facilities include an indoor basketball court — providing an opportunity for “The Juice” to show off some of his sporting prowess to fellow inmates. Simpson entered Lovelock in 2008 after being convicted for the 2007 robbery of sport memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas. In 2016 former corrections officer Jeffrey Felix released a book about his relationship with Simpson at Lovelock, titled “Guarding The Juice.” In the book he recalled a saga of an illicit cookie shortly after Simpson arrived, in which an inmate working in the kitchens stole cookies and brought them back to the unit where Simpson was. According to Felix, Simpson ate the cookie in plain view and was written up over the incident. However, Felix says he managed to convince the female guard to tear up the report, saying she would forever been known as “the cookie monster”. This decision could ultimately help Simpson at this parole review this week, Felix has surmised. Earlier in 1995, Simpson was acquitted of the double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman during length legal proceedings that were dubbed “the trial of the Century.” Simpson was found liable for the killings two years later in a 1997 civil case. 18 Jul 2017 Pictured: O.J.
