Tyson Out Next Month

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson will be released from prison March 25, his original release date before being disciplined early in his six-year term.

H. Christian DeBruyn, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Correction, decided recently to lift the added penalty days after discussing Tyson’s case with staff who supervise adult discipline in the prison system.

He was convinced Tyson’s misconduct likely stemmed from an adjustment to prison life because it came so early in his prison term. The department says Tyson has been a model prisoner since.
