That 70s Show actor Danny Masterson was booked into a California state prison on Wednesday, three months after he was sentenced to 30 years behind bars for raping two women.

North Kern State Prison is a three-hour drive north from the Hollywood Hills, where Masterson’s 2003 attacks took place. It’s a medium-security facility with nearly 4,000 inmates—145 percent above capacity, according to state records.

A mugshot released on Wednesday showed Masterson, 47, still sporting his trademark curly locks with the tiniest hint of a smile poking out from behind his beard. He was wearing prison-issue orange clothes.

A Los Angeles jury convicted Masterson of two rape counts on May 31 after eight days of deliberations; they deadlocked on a third count. The verdict came after Masterson’s 2022 trial ended in a mistrial.
