Thanks truckin, well that's relativity good news  "BOP - in prolonged transit" appears to a a real thing and fairly common.  As suggested he's in between facilities and still holed up in county or other for now. According to prison talk chatter out there people can be stuck in this position for up to 7 weeks from sentencing.  The even better news is that Homero's actual sentence does not start until his safely locked up and registered in a Federal facility. He can remain in limbo in a country lock up, or some sort transition house for however long and it does not count as part of his sentence. Federal Crime, Federal sentencing, Federal prison time. Clock only starts ticking once actually incarcerated in the Federal jail. Absolutely must make it even more trying for the loser. Apparently its a huge big deal for others that their pathetic loved ones are suffering so unnecessarily boo hoo

Let's wait another month and hope his foul rotten name finally shows up where it belongs...
