For Those Who Are Interested

Former Prison Break actor, Lane Garrison, whose drunk driving car crash resulted in the death of a teenager, wrote this letter to Access Hollywood about his time behind bars.

He says:

“Greetings and Happy New Year to you and everyone at Access Hollywood from Donovan State Prison. Never did I think I would be saying the words ‘happy & prison’ in the same sentence and not be on a set. It’s pure irony coming from the show and now living the real deal. It’s surreal and mind-blowing to say the least.

Just this past Monday they let a group of inmates watch the season premiere of Prison Break. It felt like an out of body experience as I stood around a crowd of tattooed felons watching Michael Scofield try to escape … all of us longing to be free as well!

This has been the hardest year of my life. I hope people, young and old, are learning from my mistakes and what can happen when you drink and drive. I have much to say about the pain I’ve felt and seen inside of prison. It has been eye-opening and a harrowing experience.”

LANE GARRISON ASSIGNED TO DONOVAN CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

Former Prison Break star Lane Garrison, who was sentenced to 40 months in prison last month for his involvement in an alcohol-fueled car crash last December, has been assigned to serve his jail-time at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.

The 27-year-old actor pleaded guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence over the incident, which caused the death of 17-year-old boy and left a 15-year-old girl injured.

Garrison was transferred to Donovan State Prison in San Diego, Calif., on November 20 from the Twin Towers Facility in Los Angeles.

Actor Tom Sizemore was sent to the same prison.

Petition Seeks Top Sentence for Garrison

A petition bearing 3,600 signatures asking a judge to sentence Prison Break actor Lane Garrison to prison for nearly seven years for killing a teenager in a drunken driving crash was refused by a Superior Court bailiff Wednesday in Beverly Hills.

Friends and classmates of the dead teen gathered signatures after school, at football games, in front of stores and by going door to door, Lee said.

A bailiff explained the petition could not be accepted in court, but it would be accepted at the hearing if it was submitted through the district attorney's office, said James Lee, a spokesman for the teen's family.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office had not received the petition Tuesday but spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said it was not unusual for prosecutors to submit such private communications.

"Generally, if people have letters for the judge, they many, many times submit it to the prosecutor and the prosecutor presents it to the court," she said.

"Obviously, there's a sense that people want closure and they want justice and they want an appropriate punishment," Lee said. "We're talking about the loss of a life, here."

Garrison, 27, was driving a 2001 Land Rover on Dec. 2 when he lost control and rammed a tree. The crash killed his passenger Vahagn Setian, a Beverly Hills High School student. Two 15-year-old girls in the car survived.

UPDATE: Lane Garrison was sentenced to 3+ years in jail, Wednesday, October 31st. The judge also ordered Garrison to pay $300,000 in restitution to the victims and their families.
