Lane Garrison Incarcerated for DUI Being Released Early
Former “Prison Break” actor Lane Garrison is scheduled to be released from prison early because of credits earned while incarcerated for driving under the influence.
Garrison who is now 28 pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter, felony DUI with bodily injury and one misdemeanor count of providing alcohol to a minor, in a 2006 DUI crash that killed a 17-year-old boy and injured two 15 year-old teenagers.
The drunk driver was sentenced to 40 months in prison. According to a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation rep Terry Thornton, “We can confirm that he is going to be released to parole soon, but it is our policy not to disclose the inmate’s scheduled date for release date for security and safety reasons.
“He was sentenced to three years and four months, but inmates including Mr. Garrison, can earn credits that reduce the time they spend in prison. He received half time-meaning that for every day that he participated in a rehabilitative program, he got a day off his sentence,” said Thornton.
