Disgraced Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar is now at a federal prison in Arizona. 

Nassar arrived at the high-security U.S. penitentiary in Tucson over the weekend.

His inmate number on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website is 21504-040.

Nassar is serving 60 years in prison for possessing child pornography.

If the 54-year-old survives that sentence, he will serve state prison time for abusing women and girls in Eaton and Ingham Counties.

The Tucson prison holds 15-hundred inmates.

According to USA Today, it is also home to the man who kidnapped and assaulted Elizabeth Smart.
