The reality TV star, who is serving a 22-year sentence after being convicted of plotting a murder-for-hire against Big Cat Rescue rival Carole Baskin, has been fighting the “aggressive” cancer, which he revealed had spread to his pelvis and stomach earlier this year.
Federal prison officials confirmed to TMZ on Friday Joe was transferred from Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas to a different federal facility in North Carolina on Tuesday, that caters to prisoners with “special health needs.”
According to the website, Federal Medical Center Butner provides “extensive medical services” with a full hospital and cancer treatment facilities.
When Joe, real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, shared his condition had worsened, he also admitted he was “ready to die.”
The transfer comes just after the Wednesday premiere of Tiger King 2 on Netflix, which includes phone interviews with the imprisoned former zoo owner.
