Article is new enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. Hook is interesting, fact is in the article and cited inline, and sourced. I'd suggest however that "jailer" either be replaced or linked to prison officer, or maybe that the word "turnkey" be used here since that's what's in the article. No close paraphrasing was detected. A QPQ has been done. Although this is good to go, there is one minor issue that I suggest should be fixed ASAP: "renown musician" should be "renowned musician".
