Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was released from prison on Thursday, September 12 around 8:10am. The MTV star surrendered himself to the Otisville Federal Correctional Institution in upstate New York on January 15 to serve his eight-month prison sentence for tax evasion. Following his release, he will be under supervision for 24 months, and must complete 500 hours of community service according to RadarOnline.com.
Before he was let out from behind bars, Mike, 37, went through a very detailed discharge process.

"Inmates are to be positively identified before their release by photo comparison and verbal questioning of the inmate. Verbal questioning will include name, date of birth, register number, questions pertaining to sentencing data, family background, information from the Pre-Sentencing Report and more," documents obtained by RadarOnline.com explained.
The Staten Island native will be on supervised probation for two years and will be required to complete 500 hours of community service.
The sober reality star pleaded guilty to failing to pay taxes on over $9 million in income and he was sentenced on October 5, 2018.
