"Jailbird" Joey Baines (born 1954) was the fourth child of Sam and Stella Baines. He would grow up to spend many years in prison for an unknown offense. On October 25, 1985, he failed to earn his release on parole for at least the second time.
When Marty McFly traveled back to November 5, 1955, he met his uncle Joey at age 1 behind the bars of a crib wearing a black and white striped shirt. Stella noted that he enjoyed being in his crib, as every time they took him out he would cry.
In the 1985A timeline, Joey was still noted as being in jail.
It is unknown whether Joey was still in jail in 2015. (Although in a deleted scene from Part II, Marty of 2015 says "Mom, let's wait and see if Uncle Joey makes parole.")
Behind the scenes
An early script of Back to the Future Part II showed that Joey, in his early teens in 1967, enjoyed locking himself in his room and eating nothing but bread and water.[1][2]
