BOSTON - "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch is appealing a judge's decision to keep him in a Massachusetts prison until the end of his sentence for tax evasion.
Hatch was convicted in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on his $1 million prize for winning the reality show. He had been serving the final portion of his 51-month sentence in home confinement at his sister's house in Newport, Rhode Island, when he was sent back to prison last month for giving unauthorized media interviews.
Last week, a federal judge denied his request to finish his sentence in home confinement.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts on Monday filed a notice of appeal asking the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case.
