But Meeks is hoping to get out as early as November 2015, when combining time already served and good behavior, according to a jailhouse interview.

And Meeks has every reason to be on his best behavior. He already has an agent and is set to take advantage of his newfound fame.

Meeks says he wants to try both modeling and acting, saying he would love to be on a show like, “Sons of Anarchy.”
