Former professional boxer, Mike Tyson has revealed his ordeal in prison and how he got out before his time in prison.
Tyson was arrested and convicted to six years in prison in 1992, for raping an 18-year-old beauty pageant. The boxing champion denied all allegations.
Although he was sentenced to six years in prison, with an additional one year for misconduct in prison, he only served three years in prison.
Tyson talked about how he was supposed to spend four years and needed to pass the GED (General Educational Development) in order to reduce the term.
According to him, he couldn’t think of any other way than befriending the prison counselor. He claimed he had countless sex with her to get freed.
He said; “I got in trouble like the first six months and stuff, cursing, getting written up. And then by that time, I got the hang of the place. ‘Hey, I know how to do this.’ Next thing you know, I’m dating one of the counsel workers now, she’s letting me have sex with her now.
“So I’m going good. But the first six months I was getting write-ups, I have to pay that year back. … I’m like a star pupil prisoner. Trusty, everything. Then, ‘Hey Mike, remember the first six months you were a prick?’ Boom. They gave me another year.”
“So by passing the GED they took that year away,” Tyson said, adding, “So I flunked the f*cking GED … and got mad, and so I had to start dating this counselor and stuff, giving her money and doing really some nasty stuff to her, and she let me pass this test.”
Tyson admitted that he was lucky to have gotten out with three years considering how he got in with the hopes of spending 50 years behind bars.
“I came in with 50-something (years)… They cut it all the way down to three years.
“I was doing 69 at first—they gave me 63, no. Then they took 10 off, then it was 53. And then they gave me 10, I had to do three, I got seven on parole, I guess, yeah,” he concluded.
