Is Tiger King jailed?

[Pen]

My son says.

Not sure this was posted about yet, but it seemed like many were enamored.

Son says news report says he was abusing, even killing tigers, and more.

I added ? In title because I tried to learn more, but can’t find it.  So, was he jailed?

Yes, he has a 22 year federal sentence. If you want info without watching the series you can read the Wikipedia article

For those who watched the original series, there is one last episode that gives follow-up interviews that was interesting to watch.

Some people think (and the series certainly seems to support this view) that he was framed for one of the crimes he was convicted of - namely hiring a hit man to kill his nemesis Carole Baskin. However, I don't think there's a serious question of whether or not he was abusive to the animals or whether or not he was illegally breeding or selling them. He absolutely was.

Yup, it is very fitting that the man that bred so many animals to languish in cages is now in a cage.
