Instead of going to prison for life, as he should've considering the evidence against him, Epstein only got 13 months and was allowed to stay in the Palm Beach County Jail in his own private cell where he was allowed to leave the prison six days a week for "work release". Epstein was forced to register as a sex offender for life, but with his money and his connections he doesn't seem too bothered. He currently resides on his private island in the Virgin Islands.
