Lake Co. Sheriff Mark Curran will be "sprung from the clink" about 11 a.m.

Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran will be "sprung from the clink" at about 11 a.m. today, county sheriff officials announced Tuesday.

Curran, who has been serving a self-imposed one week sentence in the Lake County Jail, plans to hold a brief press conference when he exits the jail this afternoon.

Curran said prior to going in that he was divinely inspired to enter prison for the week. He said he was doing it to determine how inmates are treated and what kind of conditions prisoners live under while serving jail sentences.
