Where Is Joe Exotic from Tiger King Now?

You'll recall that at the end of Tiger King season one, we learn Joe Exotic, aka Joseph Maldonado-Passage, was sentenced to 22 years in prison on charges of hiring someone to kill his rival big cat owner Carole Baskin, as well as charges on other animal abuse crimes, according to USA Today. However, in July, the court shortened his sentence to 17 years, saying the original case was mishandled. He requested a presidential pardon, but alas, he's still in prison. Since he was sentenced to prison in January 2020, he will probably stay there until around 2037.
