TMZ reported Friday night that preliminary approval has been granted for Charlie Sheen to receive work release during his 30-day prison sentence for misdemeanor assault.
According to the story, Sheen will work at Theatre Aspen during the days of his prison sentence. Sheen will coach actors, participate in fundraising and assist in other tasks at the renowned theatre. He will not accept a salary.
The current plan, which has been approved by the sheriff’s department but still awaits judge confirmation, calls for Sheen to be granted work leave from prison from 8AM through 8PM; he will still be an overnight prisoner during the sentence.
He is expected to finalize the situation at a court hearing Monday.
