Hushpuppi will undergo “a mental health evaluation” and get “all necessary treatment” during his time at his new abode in the US.

Convicted international fraudster, Ramon Abbas, alias Hushpuppi, will be spending the next few years of his life in confinement at a new ‘home’ in New Jersey in the United States.

While sentencing the self-confessed fraudster to 11 years in jail on 7 November, the US district court for the Central District of California recommended him to “be housed in a Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix, New Jersey facility”.

The 105-year-old jail is a low security federal correctional institution with an adjacent minimum-security camp.

It holds only male inmates.

The facility, as of Tuesday, has a total of 3,307 inmates, according to the information on the website of the US Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Of this number 3,054, over 92 per cent of the inmates, are at the correctional institution, while the remaining 253, less than eight per cent, are inmates at the Camp.

The trial judge, Otis Wright, urged the Bureau of Prisons to conduct “a mental health evaluation” on Hushpuppi and “provide all necessary treatment” during his jail time at Fort Dix prisons.

Mr Wright, on 7 November, sentenced the convict to 135 months – 11 years and two months – in jail for money laundering involving proceeds of multi-million dollars cyber-fraud he perpetrated along with other conspirators.

An international fraudster, as the US government describes him, Hushpuppi conspired to launder tens of millions of dollars through a series of online scams.

Until his arrest in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate in June 2020, Hushpuppi flaunted his luxurious lifestyle on social media especially via his Instagram page that was recently shut down. The US government said his opulent lifestyle was crime-funded.

In April 2021, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering, a step that got him a reduction of what could have been a 20 years’ imprisonment to about 11 years’ jail time.

The trial court also ordered him to pay restitution in the total amount of about $1.7 million, which he had agreed to in his plea agreement in April 2021.

Resources Hushpuppi will get in prison

Sentenced inmates like Hushpuppi will be entitled to some “resources” during their time at Fort Dix prisons in New Jersey.

The resources include a commissary account, a kind of bank account, maintained by the prison authorities, where an inmate’s family members, friends and other sources can deposit funds for him.

While mails are permitted to be sent to inmates through the address of the facility holding them, money is not allowed to be sent to them that way.

All funds sent to any inmate in any federal prison across the US through the mail must be addressed to a processing centre in Des Moines, the capital of the US state of Iowa.

The Fort Dix facility, for instance, will save funds received on behalf of Hushpuppi in his commissary account.

He will be entitled to use the money in his commissary account to buy articles not issued regularly as part of the institution administration.

Hushpuppi and his co-inmates will also be issued admissions and orientation handbook.

The book provides the sentenced inmates with general information about the facility, programmes, rules and regulations that they must abide by during their confinement.

A newcomer like Hushpuppi is encouraged to familiarise himself with the information and know his responsibilities to be able to adjust to his new life at the facility.

He will also get a document that outlines the procedures for accessing legal activities sentenced inmates are entitled to while in incarceration.

Such legal activities covered by the procedural book include accessing the electronic law library, obtaining stamps for legal materials, making legal telephone calls and any visits.

The facility also provides instructions for persons who wish to voluntarily surrender based on a court order on how to get a surrender date.

West-East, Pacific Ocean-Atlantic Ocean journey

Until his sentence on 7 November, Hushpuppi was remanded at the Central Valley Annex Prions in McFarland, California.

He was previously detained at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Chicago, Illinois, after he was arrested in Dubai in June 2020 and brought before a United States court in July 2020 to face charges.

He was later moved to the prisons in McFarland where he remained until his sentence.

Hushpuppi’s journey from McFarland, California, and Fort Dix, New Jersey, is an interstate trip that spans one of the longest west-east distances of the US mainland.

The two states are about 3,900 kilometres or over 2,400 miles air distance apart, with California located along the Pacific Ocean in the west of the country’s mainland, and New Jersey, partly bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, in the east.

Three years supervised release after jail time

After his time in Fort Dix prisons, Hushpuppi “shall be placed on supervised release for a term of three years,” the court had ordered while sentencing him.

During the period of his supervised release or community supervision, he is expected to cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample from himself.

He is also, by the order of court, to participate in mental health treatment, which may include evaluation and counselling, until discharged from the programme by the treatment provider, with the approval of the Probation Officer.

He is prohibited from reentering the US illegally “if deported from the US, either voluntarily or involuntarily”.

He will not be required to report to the Probation and Pretrial Services Office while residing outside of the US.

However, within 72 hours of release from any custody or any reentry to the US during the period of the court-ordered supervision, Hushpuppi is ordered to report for instructions at the US Probation Office located in Los Angeles.

The judge also ordered him to make a total payment of $1.7 million to the victims of his crimes for which he was jailed.

A victim law firm in New York will receive $922,857.76 of the restitution money. The balance of $809,983.58 goes to a businessperson and Qatari victim.

A co-conspirator, Ghaleb Alaumary, 37, of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, had earlier been convicted of money laundering involving various crimes.

Other conspirators, including a top Nigerian police officer, Abba Kyari, are also named in pending charges in the US.

Hushpuppy,, big boy prison.

We demand he's transferred to Kuje or Kirikiri.

It's like the huge amount you carry determines the level of prison you'll serve if convicted.

How can Hushpuppy be enjoying like this?

What I saw is a building without a gigantic fence, surrounded by bush .Prison Break season 3 is on my mind

Crime does not pay.

Hmm, he should thank God that it's not Sona-like prison of that Prison break. This is Fox River

Hushpuppy in Fort Dix. Guess more videos and films will be shot of his life thereafter. This guy cannot get back to square zero. He is a celebrity already. As someone said above, one day he could even come for presidency of them country and he would have huge followership for sure. That's the country and world we live in today. Values are up-side-down. And it would appear that the truly upright are the only ones that suffer consequences.

I remember when hushpuppi was flaunting his I’ll gotten wealth n some palm wine tappers were tapping into it n d defenders were defending him

We tried to make them see that a legally gotten money can’t b spent like that but they labeled us haters,jealous folks n co but now their eyes don clear now

I wish government could also jail those brainless rappers too n d useless defenders

Why this news? Is this to go and join him or to show sympathizers?

He will be alright. That’s not a maximum security prison but a Correctional Institution for soft money laundering criminals and it’s even a Federal one which means enjoyment for him. For Hushpuppi to get this kind of juicy prison sentence means Dude has snitched a lot of people for the FBI

Hush

See facility abeg





Can I be his subordinate in cell?

Istagram man gucci man enjoy your jail term ahead of you ooo
