Imprisoned ‘Survivor’ Richard Hatch Moved
Original ‘Survivor’ winner Richard Hatch was transferred to a federal prison in Oklahoma last week as he serves out his 51-month sentence.
The 45-year-old, who was convicted in January of failing to pay taxes on his ‘Survivor’ prize money and other income, was previously being held at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility in Massachusetts.
His new home, the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, is a hub-like facility used when moving prisoners through the federal system.
The Associated Press reports that it is not known whether Hatch is in the process of being transferred, or whether he will serve his time at the Oklahoma institution.
According to his lawyer, Michael Minns, Hatch has voiced a preference to serve his sentence near family in Florida or Rhode Island.
“He should be in a camp,” said Minns. “The camps are the most comfortable of the uncomfortable. They are still jails, but they get to see the sky and be outside. It’s bad for Richard, who is an outdoor person.”
