Danny Masterson won’t be like all the regular folk behind bars while he awaits sentencing … we’ve learned he’ll be in the same area where some high-profile inmates stayed in the past.
Law enforcement tells TMZ … the “That ’70s Show” actor is not in lockup with the general population at the L.A. County Men’s Central Jail, as he waits to be sentenced for his rape conviction. Instead, we’re told he’s being kept in “administrative segregation” for his safety.
Our sources say he’s in the same unit where some very famous inmates once stayed … including Suge Knight and O.J. Simpson.
As we reported, DM was found guilty on two rape counts he was facing … the jury was deadlocked on the third count. The verdict was reached this week in Los Angeles … after his first trial ended in a mistrial.
There’s no TV in his cell, but he’ll have books from the jail’s library, and will be allowed out of his cell for 2 hours each day, at which time he can go to the day room and have access to a phone and TV.
He’ll get time for recreation 3 hours a week. He’s able to shower every other day … unless he’s going to court, and then he can shower daily.
He is due back in court on August 4.
