PROVIDENCE,
R.I. (AP) — Reality television star Richard Hatch has been released from
a Rhode Island prison after serving a nine-month sentence for failing
to pay back taxes.
A state prison official says the winner of the first season of the CBS reality show "Survivor" was released Monday.
Hatch
served six weeks at a state minimum-security facility as a transition
after spending most of his sentence in federal prison. The Newport
resident had spent more than three years in prison for not paying taxes
on his $1 million "Survivor" winnings. He was released in 2009 and
ordered to refile his 2000 and 2001 taxes and pay what he owed.
The
50-year-old went back to prison in March for violating the terms of his
supervised release by failing to settle his tax bill.
Hatch had claimed he was "financially destitute."
