Jessica Simpson Picks Up BFF Lane Garrison from Prision

Ex “Prison Break” star Lane Garrison is making a break from it - No, he’s not breaking out of the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California where he has been living out his sentence since December 2007. The former actor will be a free man, scheduled to be released tomorrow from prison. But just who will be there to pick up the convict when he’s released? Rumor has it that its none other than childhood friend Jessica Simpson.

Per National Ledger:

“Jessica wanted to pick Lane up herself, but she can’t,” her pal explains. “So she hired a limo for a few friends to be there once Lane walks out.”

Wow, a limo to pick you up from prison? Something about that just screams trashy! I guess he is a high class felon. However, I find it hard to view this idiot as anything but “Tweener” from the local Ace Hardware store. But then again this IS Jessica Simpson we’re talking about…. Anything for publicity!

Garrison is being released from prison after serving roughly half of his sentence for a 2006 DUI crash that left one of his teenage passengers dead and injured two others. He was sentenced on Oct. 31, 2007, to 40 months in state prison, deducting the 91 days for time spent in custody before sentencing, after pleading guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence. Lawyers for Garrison had pushed for probation, but Garrison got off lucky with the sentence he did receive, because he could have been locked up for nearly seven years. He’s received time off his sentence for good behavior and for participating in a substance-abuse treatment program, serving as a peer mentor to other inmates.

Lets hope he can turn his life around after this lucky break he’s receiving.
