Summary
Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, likely to be sent to a medium-security prison with a higher risk of violence. Geographic location may play a role in where he is sent, with West Coast mediums known for higher gang involvement. Options for “softer” medium-security prisons in California are limited. Bankman-Fried may not be able to influence his prison assignment, and requests for Adderall or vegetarian food are unlikely to be granted. He will likely be in prison for at least the next 19 years.
