Former Green Bay Packers’ defensive lineman Johnny Jolly has been released from a Texas prison after serving just six months of a
six-year sentence.
The judge gave Jolly what is called “shock probation” which is granted when a prisoner convinces a judge that spending a short time in prison has shocked him into turning his life around. He will remain on probation for ten years.
Jolly was sent to prison after he was arrested four times for illegally possessing codeine.
