Amy Winehouse’s husband refuses early release conditions

Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil has reportedly chosen to stay in prison instead of conditional early release.

According to the Sun, Blake was offered the option of parole from jail this week but only if he agreed to live with his mum Georgette in Nottinghamshire, wear an electronic tag and obey a 7pm curfew.

A source told the newspaper: “It was all set for him to be released, but because he refused to go to anywhere other than Camden, it was refused at the last minute.

“The Prison Service feared he would break his parole if he was surrounded by the temptations of his old stomping ground.

“[But] he doesn’t want to go somewhere where he can’t be reunited with Amy and his friends. He’d rather stay inside.”

Blake was sentenced to 27 months in jail in July after pleading guilty to charges of assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice. With the standard sentence reduction for good behaviour and taking into account time served on remand, Blake is expected to be released at the end of the year (or thereabouts).
