The prison system has spoken: Richard Hatch has survived his time behind bars.
The original Survivor winner was transferred from federal prison in West Virginia Monday to a halfway house in Pennsylvania, where he will be held for the next five months.
Back in 2006, the 47-year-old Hatch was sentenced to serve four years and three months behind bars for federal income tax evasion after failing to cut Uncle Sam in on a share of his $1 million reality prize. He has been in prison since July of the same year.
Carla Wilson, the spokeswoman for the Northeast Regional Office of the Bureau of Prisons, said that Hatch, who has long maintained his innocence in the matter and claimed CBS producers told him they would pay his taxes on the winnings, will be released from his halfway home on Oct. 7, at which time he will be placed on supervised release.
