Henry Ruggs III is now incarcerated just one mile from where he played for the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Former NFL wide receiver was on the Raiders’ roster during the 2020 and 2021 seasons and played home games at Allegiant Stadium. Having been sentenced to time in prison, he’s now being held at Casa Grande Transitional Housing, which is only around a mile away from the stadium.

Ruggs was sentenced to a term of 36 to 120 months imprisonment after a guilty plea for causing the death of Tina Tintor in 2021.

With his release date approaching, he has been moved from Stewart Conservation Camp to Casa Grande, per records from the Nevada Department of Corrections.

The former University of Alabama standout is around 20 months from his earliest possible parole date, August 5, 2026. A mandatory consideration date of July 4, 2027, has also been set.

Henry Ruggs Made $2.50 An Hour From Prison Job

Nevada inmates with sentences of at least three years, excluding life, get mandatory parole release consideration unless they have a consecutive sentence to serve in the state or have been previously released on parole for that sentence. They’re also ineligible if the Parole Board deems them a danger to public safety.

According to the Nevada Department of Corrections’ website, Casa Grande Transitional Housing is a facility for non-violent, non-sex-crime offenders who are within 18 months of parole eligibility. The institution provides residents with opportunities to seek employment and permanent housing before they are reintegrated into society.

According to reports, Henry Ruggs worked at the Nevada Governor’s Mansion as a community trustee, earning $2.50 per hour while at Stewart Conservation Camp.
