Rodolfo 'Fofo' Márquez, a known influencer, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for attempted femicide. His case has generated intense public debate due to his popularity on social media prior to his arrest.
Fofo Márquez is now in the Texcoco Penitentiary, where he is under strict surveillance 24 hours a day and shares space with other inmates. Despite his appeal against the sentence in hopes of reducing his prison time, he is currently adapting to his new life behind bars.
The influencer is living in a constantly monitored environment in the prison, which seeks to ensure his safety and maintain order due to the media impact of his case. He has been seen wearing the inmate uniform and has a noticeably changed physical appearance according to photos shared on social media.
After the leakage of a video in which he was tortured by guards while in Barrientos Penitentiary, authorities decided to transfer him to Texcoco. The crime for which he was convicted occurred in August 2024, when he assaulted a woman in the State of Mexico.
Journalist Carlos Jiménez has shared details about Fofo Márquez's new prison life in the Texcoco Penitentiary. If his sentence is not reduced, he will remain incarcerated until around the age of 43.
