What Suge Knight's Life In Prison Is Really Like

Reportedly a gang member with the Bloods, Suge Knight has been accused of assault, making threats, and kidnapping (via Page Six). Despite doing some short stints in prison, he was never sent away for a long time — earning him the name Teflon Don. That is, until he purportedly committed another crime in 2015.

In 2015, Knight arranged to meet two men that he supposedly had bad blood with. But the meeting reportedly went sour, and used his truck to run over the two men. One of them died, per Page Six. Knight would turn himself into police, and he was charged for a hit-and-run. His case went to trial in 2016, and he was sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2018 (via CNN). So what has life been like since? 

Suge Knight has been in prison since turning himself in to authorities. Ahead of his sentence, Knight gave his first jailhouse interview in October 2018, where he accused Dr. Dre of orchestrating a plot hit to kill him, per New Musical Express.

In 2016, life in prison for Knight was spent making a lot of phone calls and having legal visits. Before his trial, Knight changed lawyers multiple times, emphasizing that he was building a good defense for himself (via Corrections 1). During that time, he was not able to have any connection to his family.
