Jussie will serve his sentence in protective custody... 

From NBC Chicago

A court document signed by Judge James B. Linn states that "Mr. Smollett shall serve the 150 day jail sentence in protective custody by Mr. Smollett's request and this court's recommendation."

Jussie has already filed an appeal.
