The Point of Concern !
The question that raises is whether or not he will be able to get the money required to prevent other inmates from bothering him! He needs to serve from 9-33, so hopefully he will find a way!

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story – the truth about the jury
The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story - the truth about the jury...
Sequestered for 265 days - the longest in US legal history - the jurors heard evidence from 126 witnesses, were presented with 1,105 pieces of evidence, 45,000 pages of transcripts, before handing down a not guilty verdict.
Holled up in a Los Angeles hotel 10 of the original 24 jury men and women ended up leaving the process through the nine month ordeal.
But how much of the latest episode - A Jury in Jail - was true?
They were kept under lock and key
The intense living conditions of the jury are fairly accurately portrayed. The televisions and phone lines in their hotel rooms were disabled and they weren't allowed alcohol. They were only allowed five hours of unsupervised time with their partner once a week, from 7pm to midnight. After a slew of complaints the court did try to ease their suffering by organising a boat trip to Catalina Island, which left many of them seasick.
Jury members "revolted" by wearing black
On the show African-American juror Tracy Hampton is seen complaining to Judge Ito that the deputies "aren't fair". "The white jurors get better treatment than us!" she said before claimed they were given more time to shop in Target - favoured by the white jurors - than in Ross, where she claimed the black jurors preferred to buy their clothes.
This was also true.
According to juror Jeffery Toobin - who documented his time on the jury in a book after the trial - many jurors complained about racist treatment by the deputies. When three of the deputies were swapped out, 13 jury members wrote a letter of protest to the judge and later wore black to court in protest over the unfair dismissal. The situation became so bad Ito cancelled proceedings for the day and gave the jury the weekend to "cool off".

Tracy Hampton's breakdown didn't happen exactly as portrayed on screen. She did beg the judge to let her go home, but she didn't have a breakdown in quite the same way as it was portrayed on the show.
One was kicked off for lying about kidnapping arrest
This was true. Michael Knox was removed from the jury for failing to disclose on his questionnaire that he had been previously arrested on charges of kidnapping, which he later dismissed as a "spat" with his girlfriend. The Then 47-year-old claimed he had been "leaning" towards a guilty verdict when he was kicked off the jury. He said at the time: "I hope O. J. can prove his innocence. "But if he's guilty, I'm not going to consider it some kind of defeat for the black race." Knox documented his time serving on the jury in The Private Diary of an O. J. Juror.
No-one knew where they were staying
The fifth floor of the Hotel Inter-Continental, which was close to the court house in downtown LA, became home to the jury for nine months. Their residency there was a huge secret, with only 30 employees of the hotel privy to the information.
Somehow, despite their best efforts, it did get out and security guards for the hotel later revealed people would turn up looking for the jury members. They reportedly celebrated the end of the case with a champagne party in the presidential penthouse suite.
"It was incredible," Jeanette Baker, the in-house pianist later told the Los Angeles Times. "It was like a family reunion. They sang 'Come On Baby, Let the Good Times Roll' and 'Stormy Monday Blues.' We had one 72-year-old juror who did a dance, sort of like a little old soft-shoe."
