Here is the actual letter Lane Garrison, 27, wrote to Access Hollywood from prison. Garrison is serving 40 months for killing a 17 year-old in a DUI related accident.
I believe Garrison is truly sorry for what he did, and I think he will leave prison a changed man. I feel bad for him because he screwed up, he made a terrible mistake that cost a young man his life, but I don’t think he intended to hurt anyone. He thought he was invincible, like most young adults do. The “it’ll never happen to me,” mentality. But it does happen, and it happened to Lane. And I believe he has been humbled.
I hope when he gets out of prison he can persuade others not to drink and drive by sharing his story. He really can turn this into a positive. Hopefully the victim’s family can forgive him. If that can happen, I think his chances for leading a normal and possibly inspirational life after prison are good.
Remember, if you want to write to Lane, he’s got lots of time to read your encouraging letters. Drop him a postcard at:

Thanks for providing the address. The next time I’m in a mood to write a drunken child killer I won’t have to search the net for one. Yikes. He’s right where he belongs and what’s scary is he’s writing to a slimey tabloid show, instead of say… the kids parents so beg of forgiveness…

That’s some girly handwriting. I wish I could write so well!

Jinxy, I’ll just say I disagree. I lost my brother in a similar accident. People make mistakes. Sometimes very bad ones, but it doesn’t always mean they are a bad person.
