Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. However, his time in prison will begin in isolation.

According to a report from TMZ Sports, a representative for the Collin County Jail confirms that, for now, Anthony will be held in a remote part of the jail away from the general population, out of concern for his safety.

“We’re told the jail is taking appropriate steps to ensure the safety and security of all inmates in the facility … but the rep declined to comment on why Anthony specifically is being kept in isolation,” TMZ Sports reports.

Anthony was found guilty of murder for the April 2, 2025, killing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.

UNDER BUDGET AND UNDER SCHEDULE!

Special treatment for sure. This is a high profile case. The prison will keep him isolated from the general population until the appeal. Must protect the yute there.

Hope he loses the appeal and ends up in the gen pop prison yard. Maybe he can make the acquaintance of some of the AN crowd? They can be so friendly and accepting.

He apparently pissed off some gang by implying he is affiliated with them in his tik toks and they’re waiting for him, according to an excon who posts on YouTube.

Sounds like a twisted version of "stolen valor."

Inmates have a better sense of justice than many court officers.................

I think they are more concerned with surprise butt sex

Who isn't?

[Salvavida]

Yeah, that’s a long shot. I don’t think even Nation of Islam would touch him.

No hip-hop and rap blaring at full blast? Poor baby.

He’s in the FO stage of FAFO.

Grade inflation is rampant.

POC just showing up for school is worth at least .5 of their GPA.

Thanks for the link.

[Apparatchik]

In Germany they don’t take belts away from inmates.

Sehr praktisch.

[william clark]

Oh, I’m sure he’ll join up with the Nation of Islam crowd inside soon enough

[DCBryan1]

He better learn the "quart of blood" technique.

Yes, this YouTube guy named jumpsuit Pablo said on his podcast that Karmelo has angered one of the gangs and he showed a video that some of them made from prison about Karmelo.

But the New Black Panthers are defending Karmelo and they have a subsidiary gang so likely that bunch will protect him when he hits general population if he brings something to the table like money for the commissary or something. That kid’s life is over.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, it takes care of things.

[PLMerite]

“Karmelo had to use a public defender.”

Apparently, that’s not the case. His family actually *paid* for the crap lawyer he had.
