OMG! And then he's gotta fly away on his private jet afterward. His life is over!

lol 35 days

poor babbyyy

For someone who is used to looking at tits and ass all day, 35 days can seem like a whole lot longer. Especially when you got a roommate named Bubba who likes to keep himself warm by snuggling up against you :upsidedow

The more i think about it, the more i suspect he may not survive. Crying like a baby over a 35 day sentence says it all.....

Joe Francis is reportedly going crazy in jail -- literally -- under the withering verbal assault of a convicted cop killer who's going wild, taunting Francis day and night with shouts of "Girls Gone Wild! Joe Francis! Whoo!"

What's more, the pimpresario is having "full-blown anxiety attacks" and is "breaking down," his lawyer tells the News-Herald of Panama City, Fla. He is isolated in a cold cell with only a towel and a blanket to keep him warm. And the poor, poor multimillionaire's plight is being exacerbated by his jail ward-mate, Robert Bailey, who has been sentenced to die for killing a police officer. Bailey, according to Aaron Dyer, Francis' lawyer, "would sit there and yell, 'Girls Gone Wild! Joe Francis! Whoo!"

Last week, said Dyer, Francis missed the medication cart and "went into a full-blown anxiety attack."

This may just be a warm-up if Joe gets hit with Federal jail time for tax fraud...

hahaha hahaha hahaha hahahah hahaha

hmmm, never mind

i was referring to ADG post about

This bitch is crying over 35 days? Please.

Wow a whole 35 days then he goes back to his normal life of being a zillionare.My heart goes out to him.

Mmmm.. 35 days for contempt - sounds OK.

he's looking at 10 years for tax evasion.

Hell, we could all do 40 days and not even bat an eye.

haha that cop killer rocks

this is the best quote of the whole article:

"His attorney, Jan Handzlik, said being in jail had changed his client.

"He is a different man. Undoubtedly he is a different man," he said."

What? Talk about a pussy!

biggest i've seen in a long time :1orglaugh

Do you think he'll skip the country before the fraud charges reign in? The jail time for contempt of court that he's serving 35 days for is pittance compared to the more serious fraud charges. Or is it likely he'll walk anyway?

what a pansy ass. :'( any of us did that shit and we'd be in the pen for YEARS

Was not familiar with the fraud charges Mike..

Mmmm.. penalty is supposed to be up to 10 years jailtime and $500K fine.... He's already a "target" and can't see it's worthwhile going on the run - "fraud" is still a criminal offense even on offshore areas and he'd just be escorted back the the US.

This T-shirt is going to be worth a fortune one day :)

Its an orig GGW.

The questions is, should I wash or pretend this is GGW sweat?

I am very surpised that he got 35 days for the contempt charge.

The guy is just about untouchable it seems. 35 days in the can is a joke.

It will be a good learning experience for him.

OK.. he could have got more for telling the judge to fuck himself :winkwink:

Only know of one person who was jailed of 7 days for "contempt" - she was asked to apologize for something and refused to do so, simply because she was "right" and considered no need for an apology.

Judge tried to "persuade" her and threatened a fine of.. not much, about $300, - and back comes the reply "Who do you think I am?? Ivana Trump??" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Judge then tried to persuade again and if she still refused, would have to order jail time. "Fine... you must act as the law states - that is your duty" So, he sentenced her to seven days, - but let her loose in four :winkwink:

His cell mate??
Yeah I am sure they put him in a cell with a killer.

Such bullshit.

Francis is lucky he settled the civil suit case with the underage girls prior to the Judge's ruling today on the contempt charge related to that case, otherwise the sentence could have been worse (as if the sentence for contempt is not bad enough, some reports indicate that Joe will have to pay out $70 million to the seven girls in the settlement).

He should be out in a week or two on the contempt sentence, since I guess he will get credit for time served, and time off for good behavior if he doesn't have another melt down - although I think he is still facing charges for bribery and possessing contraband drugs during his current stay in jail.

I'd like to see most of you go 35 days in jail. i know id never want to..

Never been to jail have ya?

ESPECIALLY not in a 3rd world country.

35 fucking long assed days.

:2 cents:

Yeah, I guess Florida would be considered a 3rd world country by some... :1orglaugh

ADG Webmaster

lol, 35 days, what did he do, robe a candy machine?

big fuckin deal....

35 days would be easy having that much cash

Girls Gone Wild! Joe Francis! Whoo!

You cheat.

One of only 4-5 peeps I knew would get the joke, and you had to read the bloody thread 5 minutes after my post.

:winkwink: :thumbsup :2 cents:

Most people who fuck with minor children receive a death sentence in jail.

He should consider himself lucky.

hes a loser...baller loser

He will run out of luck

Well said... said well

any questions?
:1orglaugh

35 days can be a very long time for someone used to a very comfortable lifestyle who never was in jail before. A month isn't long, but I'd guess for him it's like ages...it's not like a boring stay in hospital, it's much different and enough to cause lasting psychological damages.

Seems very harsh to give him 35 days in Jail and pair him up with someone convicted to the death penalty.

Most of this story will be bullshit to keep his sites in the newspapers. Imagine the signups he'll be getting from it all?

Moreover, he spends his time with cell mate who is a convicted cop-killer. This looks crazy. http://wwtdd.com/

Bwahhahhah

U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak = Judge Dick Smoke...

ahhahah

Actualy ive just got outa a US jail after 6 half months for immigration issues....
Now im certainly no 'hard man' by any means or description...
Ive got no criminal record, and it was the first time I saw the inside of a jail in my life !
But to be truthfull, it was piss easy...
Time flew by and it was over, and i was out in no time...
Unfortunatly, i DONT have a millionare lifestyle to return too...
But if I DID have that lifestyle awaiting me...
Im sure that it would have gone by, even quicker ! :)
