"Survivor" winner Richard Hatch was released from a Massachusetts jail early Friday after completing a federal sentence for evading taxes on the $1 million he won during the CBS reality show's first season.
Hatch was freed shortly before 6 a.m. from Barnstable County jail in Bourne, Mass... He was driven home to Newport, R.I., by sheriff's deputies ...
Hatch, 48, now faces three years of supervised release. ... He must also complete a mental health program.
Hatch's husband is from Argentina, and he has asked the court unsuccessfully in the past to grant him permission to live there...
In 2006, he was convicted of tax evasion for not paying taxes on his "Survivor" winnings, as well as on $327,000 he earned as co-host of a Boston radio show and $28,000 in income from rental property. The judge tacked on extra prison time to his sentence after finding he had lied on the stand, giving him a 51-month prison term.

I bet he was the “Belle of the Ball” in prison.
I bet he is already sad he has to leave the BF inn
“Hatch’s husband is from Argentina...”
How special.
Hope he had more sex in the Pen than he could handle.
Exceeding your 15 minutes of fame should be a hanging offense.
“Hatch’s husband is from Argentina”
Said as though it’s normal - blech.
Colonel, USAFR
This is just disgusting.
When does his show start?
Why??? Are they going to file his taxes for him?? He did not commit a violent crime nor did he injure anyone. Why the hell should they spend valuable time keeping tabs on this guy when I'm sure there's a bank robber or someone who could use the extra attention?? Finite resources should not be wasted on this kind of white collar crime.
So Hatch went to jail, and rightly so, but what about Geithner or Daschle? Some animals are more equal than others, I guess.
So Hatch is a catcher - huh? That was something I did not need to know.
How Queer??
Add one Mr. Levi Johnston.
The list is endless.
Maybe he got in trouble in prison.
On May 16, 2006 he was sentenced to 51 months in prison, plus three years of supervised release after serving his sentence.
51 months... that’s harsh, man. IRS stinks. And now, 3 years of supervised release? Come on. We have killers, rapists, child abusers etc. walking free. This is BS.
The IRS is coming down heavier these days. They need the $$$ to finance socialism. Btw, what ever happened with Wesley Snipes?
