O.J. Simpson is having no trouble making a new life for himself behind bars, says the New York Post. Simpson’s friend Norman Pardo reports that the disgraced former NFL star spends his days at the Nevada correctional facility—where he’s serving a sentence on robbery and assault charges—pumping iron, reading pulp fiction, watching wrestling, and even counseling his fellow inmates on race relations and anger management. Simpson initially had issues with his cell mate, a white
supremacist, Pardo says, but he “finessed” the situation and the two men now get along.
