'Survivor' Finds Jail Not Cool

The winner of the $1 million prize from first 'Survivor' season finds jail not the appropriate place to test his life skills. He has been sentenced to 51 weeks in prison for tax evasion; practically, he refused to pay the due taxes on the 'Survivor' prize and other incomes.

But life on a deserted island is like a walk in the park when compared to that in a federal lockup. Hatch has troubles adjusting to life with the inmates and with the food they are serving him down there. But, unfortunately for him, he has to stay there until his lawyer appeals the sentence.

Hatch is not satisfied with the amount of time he got for his illegal activities and, come to that, he truly believes that he was unjustly sentenced: 'I don't think I will adjust to any of this until I can prove I was unethically prosecuted', he said during an interview over the phone, published in 'Dominion Post'.

Meanwhile, he has to tutor his fellow inmates and help them get their GEDs and acquire proper job-skills. 'I'm doing lots of intake stuff, like clothing and getting to know the place...', was how Hatch describes the activities.

And, despite all the attention that focuses on him for being such a celebrity ('Sure, people know may name...'), he is set to finish during his stay his autobiographical book on the 'Survivor' experience. 'I'm focused on writing what has gone so terribly wrong', he said during the same interview.
