You can almost hear the Humble Pie classic "Thirty Days In The Hole" blaring in your mind, picturing the entrepreneurial Joe Francis, who has made a nice living getting half-drunk girls to sign waivers then goad them into stripping on camera, all nestled up in the big house.
A Florida judge who Francis flippantly referred to as "out of his mind" and "a judge gone wild" cleverly added 5 days to the 30 day sentence, which will add an extra year in federal jail, reports TMZ.com.
According to the TMZ-ers, "Francis' lawyer begged District Court Judge Richard Smoak to cut his 35-day sentence on federal contempt of court charges to 30."
The method to the judge's madness is having jail time of over 30 days on his record would change the sentencing framework in his federal case, claims TMZ: "should he be convicted on tax evasion charges -- and could tack on up to a year of extra time in a federal penitentiary as a result."
Judge Smoak banged his gavel and kept it at 35 days, despite the pleas.
TMZ noted that Marshals were directed today by another judge to take custody of Francis the moment he's released from his current sentence on May 15 at 8:15 am.

Joe Francis is FREAKING OUT! He's sitting in jail, serving time for tax evasion, contempt of court, molesting minors, bribery etc. - facing a hundred years in prison, and NO ONE is returning his calls! The Girls Gone Wild mogul has been reaching out to his celebrity friends - he wants them to write letters defending his character to the judge. These are the same celebrities who didn't hesitate to accept Joe's hospitality when he was on top of the world. They flew in his Gulfstream jet and enjoyed his Caligula-like parties in LA, Miami, Mexico, etc. Paris and Nicky Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Tara Reed, Kimberly Stewart, Jessica Alba, Mario Lopez, and MANY more, wallowed in his celebrity ass-kissing. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn were among the droves who enjoyed his generosity and hospitality at his Cabo beachfront mansion. Now they won't give him the time of day. Joe has been calling collect from jail all over Hollywood, begging people he thought were his friends to accept his call or call him back. No response. Joe is very upset and he told one friend that he just MIGHT be tempted write a tell-all book detailing those celebrity get-togethers and all the drugs and sex secrets!

30 days in the hole
That's what they give you now
30 days in the hole
Oh, yeah
30 days in the hole
All right, all right
30 days in the hole
What you doin' boy?
You here for 30 days
Get, get, get your long hair cut
And cut out your ways
Black napalese, it got you weak in your knees
Gonna sneeze some dust that you got busted on
You know it's so hard to please
Newcastle Brown can sure smack you down
You take a greasy whore and a rollin' dance floor
You know you're jailhouse-bound
