![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
A Florida judge whom Joe Francis called "out of his mind" and "a judge gone wild" may have bought the "Girls Gone Wild" pimpresario an extra year in federal jail by refusing to cut his 35-day sentence by just five days.
Yesterday, Francis' lawyer begged District Court Judge Richard Smoak to cut his 35-day sentence on federal contempt of court charges to 30. As the lawyer explained, having jail time of over 30 days on his record would change the sentencing guidelines in his federal case should he be convicted on tax evasion charges -- and could tack on up to a year of extra time in a federal penitentiary as a result. Judge Smoak disagreed, and left the sentence at 35 days.
Of course, one year, in the grand scheme of things, might not really matter for Francis, who, TMZ has learned, faces up to 100 years in Florida prison if convicted on all the felony charges he faces in that state. Those charges include use of a underage child in sexual performance and bringing contraband cash and drugs into his most recent home -- a county jail cell. Marshals were directed today by another judge to take custody of Francis the moment he's released from his current sentence on May 15 at 8:15 am.
Looks like Francis could get very used to that cell, even if it's driving him insane.

Oh WHATEVER!!!!,
This guy is a total scumbag I agree ... However .... He didn't amass 40 Million dollars
out of thin air. Somebody is buying his videos. All the people out there with girls gone wild videos hidden under they're mattress should be ashamed and have contributed to the behaivior. I'm sure everyone in this country knows what "Girls Gone Wild" is because the dang commercials are plastered all over television and night.
It's so easy to point and laugh at the bad guy.....but think about this ... he is locked up and we know exactly where he is. What about all the guys who purchased his material ?
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR DAUGHTER IS TONIGHT ????
Oh wait I guess we don't have to actually be parents in this
country , we can just wait for the next convicted felon to blame
our lack of imparted social morals on.
I hope the scumbag cries himself to sleep every night while in jail--jerk off.
I hate to say it, but karma is a bitch, Joe Francis. Looks like you better get used to your jail cell.
If he is convicted of everything, or anything more than 2 years, he'll try to kill himself. He is that weak. I've always said that man is a waste of skin.
I hope the other prisoners exploit this asshole like he did with all og those girls he made so much money from.

He really thought that he was untouchable. You never piss off the judge who has your fait in his hands. He will be spending some time in jail.
