Lane Garrison plans to help teens when he gets out of jail

"He will never forget what happened and he will have to learn to the live with guilt," says defense attorney Harland Braun. "When he gets out, he will talk to teenagers as a volunteer."

The former star of TV's Prison Break is currently serving a 40-month sentence at the Golden State Modified Community Correctional Facility in MacFarland, Calif.

"He's settling in," says Braun, noting Garrison has access to a library and an exercise yard. "He's living in a dorm-kind of arrangement. He's reading and writing and that's important to him. It' s like a downtime from life – and learning how to accept responsibility."
