'Survivor' winner Hatch to stay in jail for now

BOSTON - “Survivor” winner Richard Hatch will stay behind bars for now.

A federal judge Wednesday denied Hatch’s request to serve the remaining weeks of his sentence for tax evasion in home confinement. The judge also said prison officials can discipline Hatch by taking away nine days of good time. That means he won’t get out until Oct. 16.

Richard Hatch was convicted of failing to pay taxes on his $1 million prize as the winner of the debut season of the CBS reality show.

He had been serving the final portion of his 51-month sentence in home confinement at his sister’s house in Newport, R.I., when he was sent back to jail last month for giving what prison officials said were unauthorized media interviews.
