Supreme Court denies Josh Duggar s conviction appeal for child sex abuse images he will remain in prison until 2032
Early in the morning, inmates get leisure time, a source told The U.S. Sun at the time. Later in the afternoon, they might go back outside after spending a few hours indoors.
During recreation hours, inmates may also perform musical instruments, such as guitars.
The hours of visitation are Friday through Monday.
JOSH’S LEGAL TROUBLES
In April 2021, Josh was taken into custody and accused with receiving and possessing child pornography.
After a trial in Arkansas that lasted almost two weeks, he was found guilty.
Josh was moved to FCI Seagoville in June 2022 after receiving a 151-month sentence in May.
In order to reverse the conviction and hold a fresh trial in October 2022, Josh’s legal team filed an appeal.
During one of the arguments, Josh’s lawyers said that during a raid at his carlot a year and a half before to the arrest, federal authorities confiscated his phone when he attempted to call his counsel.
He allegedly spoke with the agents without legal representation, according to court documents.
Josh’s appeal was dismissed in November 2023, so he will be spending additional Thanksgiving feasts in prison.
In 2024, the Supreme Court formally rejected the conviction appeal.
