| 27th May, 2005 - 2:13 pm |  ESPN - Ravens running back Jamal Lewis, serving a four-month federal prison term after pleading guilty to using a cell phone to try to set up a cocaine deal in 2000, will be released from jail on June 2, ESPN's Sal Paolantonio has learned.
Under the guidelines of his sentence handed down by a federal judge in Atlanta, Lewis must return to Atlanta for a two-month stint in a halfway house, according to his lawyer, Jerome Froelich. That means Lewis cannot report to training camp when veterans are due on July 31 at McDaniel College in Westminster, Md.
"He's in great shape," said Froelich, who has visited Lewis in prison. "The prison officials there have been amazed at his attitude. He's volunteered to sign autographs for prison guards' kids, volunteered to do painting. He works in the prison tool shop in the morning. One guy told me, 'I wish every prisoner were like him.'"
