Prosecutors say Savage was awaiting trial in Fayette County Prison in October 2012 when he sent a letter threatening to "torture and murder" the president and harm a member of the president's family.
The letter was mailed to 1400 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington. The White House is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But received the letter anyway.
Savage is serving 12 and half to 25 years on convictions of making terroristic threats, aggravated indecent assault on a child and corruption of minors.
