Jurisprudence

Mike Tyson was released from a segregation cell where he had asked to stay before a television interview aired criticizing guards and fellow inmates at the Indiana Youth Center in Plainfield, Ind.

Kevin Moore, a prison spokesman in Indianapolis, said Tyson did not say whether threats had been made against him.

In an interview with reporter Ed Bradley broadcast Thursday on CBS’ “Street Stories,” Tyson claimed he had been harassed by inmates and guards since his incarceration in March after a rape conviction.
