Aaron Hernandez has gone from being the New England Patriots' No. 81 tight end to Inmate No. 174594, as he adjusts to life behind bars at Bristol County House of Correction in Massachusetts. The former NFL star, who was released by the Patriots last month, will live at the prison while he awaits trial on a first-degree murder charge.
Speaking to the Boston Globe on Tuesday, Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson said that Hernandez's life in prison "is not the Ritz." It's a far cry from his $40 million contract and glamourous lifestyle as a player for the Patriots.
