I'm not sure which prison he is in, but his house arrest was revoked when he was re-sentenced to 6 years in the summer (June?) of 2016
So happy to hear about the sentence increase!
Really disgusted by this statement, though:
Pistorius's brother Carl said on social media that he was "shattered. Heartbroken. Gutted" at the decision.
"We have all suffered incomprehensible loss. The death of Reeva was and still is a great loss for our family too," he wrote.

Here’s what Aimee had to say:
Aimee Joy Pistorius‏ @AimeePistorius · Nov 24
The human thirst for blood has not diminished, however the coliseum has changed.
In the pursuit to quench their thirst, facts and truth are but a trivial inconvenience.
Since when did the Pistorius clan have any regard for the truth. Truth was something to be dismissed at all costs, and it cost plenty. They played dirty right from the very start, to wit removing Reeva's handbag from the scene and Carl deleting the data from OP's phone.
How totally prophetic that Uncle Arnie said way back on 7 August 2014, “As LIGHT destroy DARKNESS, TRUTH will destroy the EVIL”.
And thanks to the SCA, truth did destroy the evil that is the killer Oscar Pistorius, at least for some years. I hope he has to serve out his full sentence but I won't be holding my breath.
Just to add a little bit of icing to the cake, I know you'll all be thrilled to know that Masipa had her 70th birthday on 16 October and is now retired.
She now has plenty of time to consider that what she did was wrong and that the whole world knows it.
There's only one good thing to come out of her involvement in the case, and that is that she was so bad that it ensured two panels of senior Justices oversaw his fate.Thokozile "time for tea" Masipa was absolutely awful. The media portrayed her as a no nonsense, Judge Judy type. People thought she wouldn't be swayed by Oscar's theatrics. Well, what a dolt Masipa turned out to be. I wouldn't be surprised if she writes to Oscar now.
http://www.justice.gov.za/sca/judgments/sca_2017/sca2017-158.pdf[24] ..The sentence of six years' imprisonment is shockingly lenient to a point where it has the effect of trivialising this serious offence.
I've just had a horrible thought. Roux was careful to point out that she effectively sentenced him to 8 years, not 6. I've never really looked into whether he was right about that, but assuming he is, what if they have mistakenly based their judgement on the "shockingly lenient" sentence being 6 years?
Please... no.
OR, is that sorted by the 13 years and a bit instead of 15??
