If you haven’t heard, Brock Turner is being released from prison tomorrow. He has served just 3 months of a 6 month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman at 2 AM following a party on the Stanford University campus. Outrage for such a lenient sentence has been heard across the nation, and has resulted in the Judge who served on the case no long serving on criminal cases, as well as Stanford implementing a ban on hard alcohol during university events.

But at the center of the case, is still Brock Turner. Who served just 3 months following a sentence that typically holds a 2 year minimum.

Curious about other individuals who have a criminal history and how long they served time? I was too!

Here are a bunch of noteworthy/famous individuals who have served jail time. And for far longer than Brock Turner.
