Blueface, or Johnathan Porter, was sentenced to four years in prison in August of 2024 for probation violation on a 2021 charge of assault, says iHeart. According to sentencing guidelines and time served, he likely will be released by March or April of 2025. Even with the situation, Blueface has kept in touch with the world outside and provided information on how he is dealing with life behind bars.
According to The Jasmine Brand, Bluface said,
"I be j*cking off, watching TV, eating Doritos, and using the phone. That’s pretty much it… They only got like 12 channels. I’ve been watching a lot of the news, The Sherri Show, and The Jennifer Hudson Show. I’m chilling, man. I’m in my environment. It’s like a little break from responsibility. I’m like 180 [pounds] right now; I’ve never been 180 before. I’m getting sized up, I’m about to bounce out looking like a dalmatian."
Daily routine and adjustments behind bars
Adjustments have been necessary to adapt to life in a controlled setting. As covered by Swaysuniverse, Blueface has developed a routine that involves watching TV, staying current with the news, and staying connected with others through phone calls. He said he watched The Sherri Show and The Jennifer Hudson Show, which suggests that entertainment has been a factor in passing the time.
Food has also played a significant role in his experience. According to Hiphopdx, Blueface joked about eating more than normal, gaining almost 20 pounds, and reaching 180 pounds for the first time. He jokingly added about "getting sized up" and said he is going to "bounce out looking like a Dalmatian." Although prison diets tend to be limited, it seems he has been able to adapt to what is offered.
Even under stern conditions, Blueface appears to be adapting to remain mentally active. His comments indicate that though he admits to the confines of prison, he is consciously working to maintain concentration and occupy his mind.
Legal background and sentence details
Blueface's current sentence is for a probation violation on a 2021 charge of assault. According to XXLmag, he was initially sentenced to probation, but certain legal issues led to the harsher sentence. In August 2024, a judge decreed that he would spend four years in prison. Due to the nature of sentencing laws, however, he only has to serve a portion of the time.
With time served and other factors, Blueface anticipates being free much sooner than the entire sentence length. Although a specific date has not officially been finalized, estimates are he might be released by the first half of 2025.
Blueface reflections on imprisonment
In discussing his experience in prison, Blueface has suggested both the difficulties and the structured nature of the experience. According to Hiphopdx, his comment that he has undergone a "break from responsibility" suggests that he sees the experience with some measure of acceptance, despite the obvious difficulties. His statement that "it's a lot of misery out here" indicates the harsh reality of being in prison, where people have limited liberty and a rigid schedule.
Blueface's prison stint has been one of adversity and adaptation. Although he has referred to the conditions as bleak, he has also proved himself capable of adjusting to life in prison. His day involves television viewing, following news updates, and contact with the world outside. Since his estimated release date is sometime in early 2025, it appears he is thinking ahead for what comes next in his personal and professional life.
As Blueface serves out his time, people will be looking to see how he returns to the music industry and whether or not his prison time will be felt in terms of his music direction in the future.
