Orenthal James Simpson has been issued a new inmate number and a new cell in the state prison that he will call home for the next 10 years at least.

O.J. was sentenced to two consecutive 15 year terms with the possibility of parole after 10 years for murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.

O.J. could have served three years in prison, but he arrogantly turned down a plea deal offered to him by the state attorney’s office.

The world is a safer place now that this dangerous criminal is off the streets.

O.J. Simpson has started his 15 year prison sentence at a medium-security correctional facility in Nevada, following his conviction on armed robbery and kidnapping charges.

State corrections officials have confirmed Simpson was shipped to High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs on Monday, 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 61-year-old former American football star was sentenced to at least 15 years in prison on Friday after a jury convicted him of orchestrating a sports memorabilia heist at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino last year.

He was convicted on 12 charges, including armed robbery, on 3 October (08) – 13 years to the day since he was acquitted of the double murder of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Simpson will be eligible for parole after nine years, and could serve a maximum of 33 years. He is reportedly planning to appeal his conviction.  (Source)
