Pictures of him looking run down show that the last three years of incarceration have taken a toll on Yee. When he was first remanded by the Chicago Police Department in 2020, he appeared a lot more youthful

SINGAPORE: New prison photos of Singaporean Amos Yee have emerged online, showing the 24-year-old looking drastically different compared to previous years.

Yee is almost halfway through the six-year sentence he is serving in the Illinois River Correctional Center for child porn and grooming. The IDOC website shows that his projected parole date is set for later this year, on 6 Oct. It is clear that the past three years of incarceration have taken a toll on Yee. When he was first remanded by the Chicago Police Department in 2020, he appeared a lot more youthful. In more recent photos released last year, Yee still had his long hair although he looked more unhappy than he does in the latest mugshots.

Yee was taken into custody in October 2020 when authorities obtained messages that he had exchanged with a 14-year-old girl from Texas between April and July 2019, during which time he shared nude photos with her via WhatsApp. Prosecutors asserted that the girl had informed Yee of her age on multiple occasions.
