According to reports, former Penn State Nittany Lions football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky has been moved from a maximum-security facility. He’ll now be in a medium-security jail in Pennsylvania.
The 73-year-old was initially put in the State Correctional Institution-Greene, according to state prison officials, because of his child sexual assault case. This was also due to being a high-profile inmate.
Sandusky, who tarnished the Penn State football program and caused the firing of his friend Joe Paterno, has now been moved to SCI-Somerset. It is 70 miles away from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
