White was paroled early (December 16, 2009) from a prison sentence (for a crime with a firearm) that was supposed to end no earlier than August, 2010. The spokesperson for Illinois Department of Corrections, Januari Smith, explained that Smith had received 180-days credit for good behavior. Smith denied White sentence was cut short under Gov. Pat Quinn's now-discontinued MGT Push program.
But counting back on a calendar from sometime in August means White should not have been released before sometime in February.
