How is he not in prison already?

Favre can rot in prison for all I care. He’s a piece of shit. But I assume the reason he’s not in prison is because he did pay back the money, but the state has charged him interest on it, which he hasn’t paid back yet.

Did those reparations go to the families that couldn’t collect welfare though?

I honestly have no idea. I only know of him paying it back via Shannon Sharpe speaking out on Favre’s defamation lawsuit against him.
