38 years old Josh Duggar , convicted in 2021 on child pornography charges and serving a 13-year, 7-month federal sentence, was transferred from Seagoville Federal Prison to the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Fort Worth. The transfer occurred after his release date was moved from December 23, 2032, to February 2, 2033.
While incarcerated for child abuse crimes, Josh Duggar was transferred to another city due to "special medical and psychiatric needs.".
FMC is a specialized facility for housing inmates with special medical and mental health needs.
This is the third time the release date of a film starring Duggar has been delayed. No specific details have been released about the reasons for the delay.
A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said, "Typically, there are a variety of reasons why an inmate's expected release date may change—credit for time earned under the First Step Act, credit for time earned through programs, time lost for good behavior for disciplinary reasons, additional punishment," according to The Sun.
In 2021, Duggar was convicted of possessing and receiving child pornography. Federal authorities discovered hundreds of disturbing images and videos of infants and young children on his work computer.
Duggar's past criminal record doesn't help matters. He previously spent two months in a special unit (SHU), also known as a "slammer," for possession of a contraband cellphone. His explicit messages to his wife, Anna, also raise questions about his depravity.
Duggar reportedly sent Anna several messages praising her for her weight loss and suggesting she wear "something low-cut" to celebrate. His messages also included requests for photos of his wife in revealing clothing.
Duggar is currently in the same facility as Joe Exotic (from Tiger King), who is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
However, Duggar's family is increasingly concerned about his mental health, claiming the once-smiling reality TV star is experiencing severe difficulties due to isolation and the gravity of his crimes. They remain silent about the latest developments, but his health problems are likely to reopen wounds for the close-knit family.
