Fleece Johnson was caught by the police and he got 10 years in prison. At Kentucky State Penitentiary it’s a really tough place to be super secure.
But he didn’t change. 87, he ruined everything he got charged with something called “wanton endangerment” and “first degree assault”. Wanton endangerment is when you do something really dangerous that could hurt or even kill someone else. Because of these new charges, Fleece had to stay in prison for another 18 years.
Now, why is Fleece Johnson so infamous? Well, he did some terrible things to other inmates while he was in prison. He would attack guys who were wearing their pants low or covering their mouths when they coughed. He thought they were inviting him to do bad things to them. He even said, “In prison, booty is more important than water.” That’s just awful.
It’s really sad, but some records say Fleece Johnson sexually hurt more than 157 men while he was in prison. That’s a lot of people who suffered because of him.

Between 1981 and 2013, Fleece had a chance to leave prison early 13 times after serving some of his time. But the people in charge of the prison didn’t let him go because of how he acted while he was there.
From 1981 to 2013, he had 13 chances to leave early after serving a part of his sentence. But the people who run the prison said no because of how he behaved while he was inside. Fleece has hurt prison guards who didn’t treat him with respect.
On July 28, 2015, a meeting decided that Fleece could leave with a plan to let him go on September 1, 2015. He was 57 years old then, and the people in charge said he was not likely to cause problems.
Some say he got out on June 15, 2016, but then got arrested a few days later for stealing with a weapon. Then, in February 2021, the rapper Silento, whose real name is Richard Lamar “Ricky” Hawk, was in trouble with the law for killing his cousin.
When talking about Silento’s problems, Johnson said it would be nice to see a young guy like him come and teach him how to dance personally. So, sadly, Johnson’s words might mean he’s still in prison.
