Early Release
Following from his success as a reconciliation councillor Earl's looking forward to finally being free, but finds out at the prison entrance he's going nowhere as his name is not down on the list. Instead Jerry has shredded his final good behaviour certificate because he's been far too useful to his career to let go free.

Faced with another six months inside Earl knees the warden where it hurts and is put in solitary confinement for 60 days, and when he comes out he decides to take things into his own hands and plans an escape.

Joy and Darnell posing as a Nun and Priest create a diversion at the prison Mass with a hymn bearing an uncanny resemblance to Hey Mickey, and whilst everyone is distracted Earl, Frank, Paco and Randy escape through the ventilator, only to literally drop into Jerry's office.

Things look bad, and taking Jerry hostage doesn't exactly help the situation, but things work out surprisingly well once Darnell falls through the ceiling and recognises the Warden as his old roommate from back in the day; not wishing his shady past involving sex and money to be exposed Jerry does the decent thing and finally, *finally* Earl goes free!
