For the last three years, actor Jussie Smollett has been the martyring star of a long drawn-out, legal circus.
But on Friday morning, the 39-year-old woke up as inmate #20220310140, one of 6,000 convicts and suspects in the Cook County Jail, serving the first day of a 150-day sentence for lying to police.
Yesterday, Smollett - once a darling of the music and TV world for his success on the show Empire - was sentenced to 150 days in jail.
The star was convicted last year of five, felony four counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police repeatedly in January and February 2019, when he claimed he was the victim of a race hate attack.
Judge James Linn yesterday granted Smollett 'day for day' eligibility which means if he behaves himself behind bars, he will likely be released within 75 days - just over two months.
Because of the low-level, non-violent nature of Smollett's crimes, he will not serve his time in a state prison.
He is being housed instead for the two-and-a-half months in the Cook County Jail, a stone's throw from the court and one of the biggest jail complexes in the country.
He is currently being held in Division Eight - which is predominantly reserved for inmates with injuries or illness. It remains unclear if he will serve the duration of his sentence there, or if he will be moved after undergoing health checks.
Smollett will not receive visitors today. Visitation for inmates in Section 2E of Unit 8 - where records show he is now - begins tomorrow, at 2.30pm. Division 8 is what is known as a Residential Treatment Unit. It is a two-wing facility and made headlines recently for a COVID outbreak which killed three inmates.

so does that mean that in 2022, there are 310,140 inmates in that jail? Man that's crazy.
Challenged first day
“Fight, F**k, or Fee”
He’ll pay for protection, and then some.
“And bad oatmeal.”
And you can’t get seconds...
I think Jussie sees himself as a latter day Nelson Mandela.
Did you see that pathetic fist pump as they took him into custody?
He is going to try to ‘rally the troops against The Man’.
Watch and see if he doesn’t.
This is how he was raised, to view himself in grandious, larger than life ways.
He’s going to need more than soap on a rope.
"Unlike last time"; he added.
That’s probably a date/time stamp.
I spent the night there once!
It was all a misunderstanding.
“20220310140”
Or 2022, 0310, 140 = 140th inmate of 3/10/2022 - which still seems like a lot.
Naw, he'll ask how much for the second one.
good that he got punished, but maybe he’ll have fun in jail.
Why..because he deserves special treatment..F him..after what he put Trump supporters through I hope some Dem operative(Because we all know the big top Dems put him up to this) Epstein him
Unfortunately, he’s not getting the gen pop, no lube treatment anytime soon. Remember, all the other inmates are black and victimized. Jussieballs is also black and victimized, but he’s also a CELEBRITY black dude, which gives him instant cred with the homies. He won’t need to fight, f**k, or fee his way in this system.
Unfortunately, the J6 POW’s WILL be put in gen pop once they hit prison, and unless they can get with the white supremacist wing, they are dead.
Jussie the bubbas will have your SIX covered
with 12 inches. Just be nice to bubba and watch
your A$$. Order in some lube, your a Trophy
wife.
Year, month, day, inmate number. Don’t ask me how I know this.
He’ll be fine. He just needs to find a big strong boyfriend in there.
Is his acting career over?
I seem to remember that his family was very friendly with Angela Davis. He has been brought up on the idea that blacks can't be guilty of anything.
