O.J. Simpson Is Happier In Jail Than Being Free

The New York Post’s Page Six is reporting that O.J. Simpson is having himself a ball in prison since he was transferred to the Lovelock Correction Center near Reno last month.

The former athlete, incarcerated for felony kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges that could spell 33 years behind bars, “reportedly benefits from such amenities as a television in his cell, although he lamented the lack of HBO, and is allowed to play checkers and cards with his fellow convict roomies,” the column reported.

“If I have to be in prison,” Page Six quoted him as saying, “this is the place to be.”

The setting is a sharp contrast to the situation he endured at Clark County jail in Vegas, where he reluctantly shed 25 pounds as a direct result of the mystery meat on the menu.

“It looked like a jackalope,” he reportedly griped, referring to the fictitious creature that’s a cross between a jack rabbit and an antelope.
