Life In Prison

Filed under: Z List

lanegarrison.jpg

Now this is smart!

While he's rotting in jail, Lane Garrison is trying to drum up some publicity.

He can't be forgotten!

The former Prison Break actor, 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.”

    125

    First off, for all you people who are commending him for sending out a so called "positive" message. are on crack?there's nothing positive about this message. All he's doing is trying to milk his fame. And trust he doesn't have one once left! If only you had any idea what a hard year it has been for the death that he caused. He deserves life in prison not a couple months!

    What about the victim's family? DOUCHE! He's only sorry cuz he got caught. Otherwise he probably woulda drank and drive 50 million more times. Hope he gets ass raped in prison!

  28. shouldhavebeenlonger says – reply to this


    128

    FUCK HIM.no really.It makes me even more pissed with he says things like this. shut the fuck up and take what you got.it could have been a helllll of a lot worse.and i'd rather forget you existed in the first place.FUCK YOU for taking someone that meant so much to so many people. I would say i want you dead, but i'd actually rather that you fucking suffer as much as possible in jail. i hope they're kicking the shit out of you there.
    and you know, i can understand you people that think that he "feels bad"…you're just naive.one day you'll realize that he's an ACTOR.
    but a big FUCK YOU to whoever thinks it was the boy's fault.
    oh yeah, and he has a name.he's a real person.he has a family.he has friends.keep that in mind before you make a pointless, selfish comment

    Drinking and driving is awesome fun…just the thought that you may slide in to a school bus and kill 20 innocent children gives me a rock hard on…fuck all you MADD assholes drinking and driving is FUN FUN FUN and I encourage young people to ALWAYS drink before driving. Bunch of fucking Jews!

  30. paige says – reply to this


    130

    His "victim" was his equally drunk friend who made his own decision to get in a car with a drunk driver. Lane deserves his prison time, but let's not pretend that the death was 100% his fault. If his friend had taken a cab home he wouldn't be dead.

  31. Misstkc says – reply to this


    131

    I can't say i feel sorry for HIS pain and what has happened to HIM because
    he chose to drink and drive. what about the victim and his family.
    All he thinks of is himself?

  32. k says – reply to this


    132

    it could have easily been any one of the celebrities, and many many other people who drive drunk…
    he just happened to arrive at the worst outcome of the same stupid, horrible, selfish mistake that soo many people make.
    he is serving his time, and he seems to be getting something out of it. maybe he will come out a better person.
    so why doesn't barron hilton get permanent shame-ing… he could have so easily killed someone based on the way he was driving.

    " I have much to say about the pain I’ve felt and seen inside of prison"…OMG YOU ARE SO SELFISH. YOUR ONLY CONCERN SHOULD BE FOR THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE PERSON YOU KILLED/MURDERED, LET ALONE THE LOSS OF THE LIFE OF THE TEENAGER, NOT ABOUT "YOUR PAIN." YOU WANT TO TELL PEOPLE TO LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES, I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE YOU DID IT. THERE IS JUST NO GETTING THROUGH TO SELFISH PEOPLE. ROT IN JAIL !!

    HEY NANCY– Guess what?! The concept of this worthless pig getting raped every day by a bunch of "tattooed" tv-watching murderous fuck-beasts is too fucking funny for words! Unlike you- in your sad world, trying to convince the wise and hateful masses to stop "judgin an hatin". Perhaps if they'd taught ENGLISH in prison you would find the eloquent voice that you are so desperately searching for on the Perez Hilton site. In phonics that means: GO FUCK YOURSELF DUMMY!!!!!

All I'm saying is it could happen to ANYONE, even you. Never say never!!!!!!!!! Yes, what happened is terrible, and trust me, he will spend the rest of his life remembering that moment. Have you ever driven after you've drank? Be honest! Like I said, it could happen to anyone - EVEN YOU!

    Prison is really bad. It's a life of fear and depression, cramped into cells that are too hot or too cold, and how do you sleep with noise going on all day and all night. But the constant threat and fear are the worst thing, and the meanest bullies rule. Some prisoners deserve prison, some are in on bum raps and false accusations, and some like Lane Garrison are punished severely for a stupid mistake.

    While his message should come across positively as far as him promoting sober driving, I love how the poor kid he killed isn't mentioned. Shouldn't the fact that he killed an innocent victim hurt him more than anything that could have ever been shoved up his ass in prison??? People are really pathetic..

    Re: Kim – WRONG DUMBASS! This won't happen to you unless you're selfish and stupid and decide to get behind the wheel while you're drunk.

    Contrary to what you want to believe, not everyone drives drunk. Only selfish, low-life, losers do and they deserve to do hard time when they've killed someone.

    Why didn't he learn from the mistakes of the losers before him? Huh? Why? Oh that's right…because selfish losers never learn.

    You know it truly surprises me how angry and completley disheartning the World has become. I am not sure if it started with Movies, Money, our Moms going to work, (and yes I am a very liberated woman, however just trying to figure this whole picture out latley), or what, but so many of you are so ugly, and angry on the inside. Why, what has happend to you to make you so judgemental to people you have never even met. Yes this guy did a horrible thing and took another persons life, and he is paying his time!!! However, he did not have to come forth, and tell society that they should not drink and drive and how bad the outcome can be if they do. Alot of people may have forgot about him and his situation by now, and I hope he continues to let people remember, because I am sure he had, and still has alot of fans who may actual listen to him, and you know what it could be your Mother, your Father, your Brother, Sister, etc, that he save, either from being the drinker, or the one that gets killed. Some food for thought.

    Re: Get a clue for the love of God – Ha ha thanks for the laugh. I just love the way that idiots like yourself get all worked up and try to judge people you have never even met. If this accident had of happened to an average person like you, I bet that people like u and that "FUCK THIS MOTHERFUCKER" JACKASS would not give a rats ass!!!! But since Lane is a CELEB and your over come with jealousy and rage about his success you feel the need to be a fuckin HATING LOSER!!!! Btw how is crashing into a tree a by mistake a "violent" crime.

    And as for you "FUCK THIS MOTHERFU**KER" you are a waste of space, who need to learn about BASIC terms such as MANSLUGHTER ( Causing death WITHOUT intent) and MURDER ( KILLING someone WITH intent). Lane is therefore guilty of MANSLUGHTER and NOT murder, idiot. I think that stupid do-gooders like you need to start being the judge of yourselves instead…

    165

    Re: paige is a fucking idiot – Actually paige does have a real and valid point. The sad truth is that while Lane is to blame for his tragic mistake and deserves his punishment, the people who got in the car with him are also very much to blame ( the guy who died included). The boys friends who bad mouthed lane after the accident sure didn't see a problem getting into the car with a drunk (hell- it was even them gave him the alcohol in the first place)!

    They ALL showed poor judgement and are ALL equally to blame! Anyone in the car could have been killed inc Lane and the boys friends, but the boy was the unlucky one. I wish that you people would stop hating and think because Lane will live with this everyday for the rest of his life and I hope the boys "friends" are doing the same cos they ALL helped put their friend into an early grave!!!!

    Re: sean

    I love how you guys can only respond with juvenile name calling. Obviously that's because you can't dispute the facts. The kid who died made a choice that ended his life. If you get in a car with someone you know is drunk and it ends up killing or injuring you then you are just as responsible as the drunk who was driving. This kid absolutely knew Lane was drunk because he'd been drinking with him all night. He is as responsible for his death as Lane. Sad but true. It's sad all around, but as far as I'm concerned at least Lane learned his lesson by killing somebody who made an equally bad choice as opposed to somebody who was completely innocent.

    Or are you the type that hangs out at your local prison waiting for every killer to be released so you can hold his hand, kiss his ass and sing Kumbayah?

    I sincerely hope that people like you, who want to defend this pos, meet up with him or one just like him someday.

    my friend was the boy killed by lane garrison. for all of you who think he is suffering in jail, you don't understand the pain we and the victims family go through everyday. yes lane may be in prison, but his family can still write to him and see him. they don't have to watch old movies to remember his voice or his laugh. drunk driving is a horrible thing and what happened was even more horrible. i don't care how much lane hates prison or thinks this is an "ironic" situation. he killed my friend, and now he's paying.
