Gangster’ Sam Bankman-Fried pictured in jail, poses alongside Bloods members who call him ‘weird as

If he can stay (alive or dead) in prison for 115 years, he should be very happy.
In many high-density cities, the dead can only be buried for about 10 years or so.
After that, the dead will be exhumed, and the ash might be thrown into the sea.
I can't speak to how things work in a federal detention center. But I have visited an inmate in a state prison in Ohio. Photos are permitted during the visit. But this type of photo would not be allowed. Everything is tightly controlled.
This is probably waaaay more than you wanted to know LOL. But you asked, so...
Yes, there are contraband cell phones in the prisons. But you can't pull one out during a visit. Visitors cannot bring cell phones into the prison. You go through a metal detector when you go in. Prisoners cannot bring a cell phone into the visit. It would be immediately spotted and confiscated by the staff. Contraband cell phones are hidden in mattresses and used when the staff are not around. You can't get one into the visiting area.
The only photo that is permitted is a photo of the inmate and their visitor. It is taken by another inmate who works in the visitor center. They use a digital camera--not a phone.
They then print the photo on photo quality paper. They print two copies--one for the inmate and one for the visitor. That's it. The digital photo is either deleted from the camera or it is archived for the use of the staff if there is a future investigation into that particular visitor.
No one except the prison staff ever has access to the digital photo.
So the short answer is this: the paper photo leaves the prison with the visitor, and then it gets scanned. And in this particular case with SBF, whoever scanned it used very low resolution, probably to get a manageable file size.
Or they took a picture of the photo with their phone LOL and then sent it to someone as a picture message, and in order to make the file size manageable, the phone reduced the quality.
Or something like that.
Prisoners do have access to an e-mail system that is monitored by the prison staff. But in most prisons they cannot send attachments, and anyway, like I said, they would not have access to digital images of photos taken during visits.
FTX fraudster Bankman-Fried seeks less than 7 year sentence, claims he is at risk of ‘harm and extortion’ in prison

- Sam Bankman-Fried is seeking a prison sentence of between 5¼ and 6½ years for overseeing a huge financial fraud at his crypto exchange FTX and a related hedge fund.
- Defense lawyers in a New York federal court fling cited SBF’s “neurodiversity,” selflessness and “kindness” in calling for the relatively light punishment.
- Federal prosecutors have said FTX and Alameda Research customers lost billions of dollars from Bankman-Fried’s fraud.
- He is due to be sentenced March 28.
Should have thought about that before gambling with other people's life savings. Millions of people lost their life worth. Screw him
Customers and creditors of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX who can prove their losses will likely get back all of their money.

I did not write that sentence. I copied and pasted it from a Bloomberg article that was published on January 31.

They're not getting back all of their money, they are getting back the amount of the same price Bitcoin was when they lost it. Meaning they will get back their funds in Bitcoin at the time they lost it, so all the people who wanted to hold will be screwed over 40K for each Bitcoin they hold.
And who paid bloomberg to write that article? That's what you should be asking yourself.
I want to see this guy pay for his mistakes that he so well deserves
