He actually never went to jail in the first place, thats a common misconception.

He had a trial but was found innocent.

And he will not be doing anything soon since hes dead

Despite being cleared of all drug trafficking charges, DeLorean still had to battle many legal cases (stemming from the company's bankruptcy) well into the 90's. He personally declared bankruptcy in September 1999 and was evicted from his 434-acre estate in New Jersey in March of 2000. He passed away on March 19th 2005 of stroke complications. He was 80 years old.

In August 2007, it emerged that due to demand for the DeLorean DMC-12, it could go back into production. [4] Businessman Stephen Wynn, has purchased all the remaining parts for the car, and plans to rebuild them in Houston.[5]
