Is george jung still alive in otisville penetentery?

Yes. George Jung is still alive, but he is no longer incarcerated at the Otisville Federal Prison, in Mount Hope, New York. From there he was transferred to the La Tuna Federal Correctional Institution in Anthony, Texas. He was then transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey.

George is currently serving out a 15-year sentence after pleading guilty to three counts of conspiracy. His actual/projected release date is November 27, 2014. He'll be 72-years-old.

Blow starring Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz tells the story of George's involvement along with that of Pablo Escobar, Carlos Lehder Rivas, and the Medellín Cartel in the 1970's drug smuggling market. The film was adapted from Bruce Porter's 1993 published novel Blow: How a Small Town Boy Made $100 Million with the Medellín Coc@ine Cartel and Lost It All.
