According to prison authorities, Kevin Mitnick will be released from prison on Friday, January 21, 2000. At that time he will have served 1,792 days in federal custody - nearly five years.

At this time, we don't know if there will be a public celebration or any other events. If there are, they would most likely occur in either Los Angeles or Las Vegas, since those are the two cities Kevin's relatives are in. Please check the 2600 and Free Kevin sites for updates.

We are changing the Kevin Mitnick Lockdown Clock to the Kevin Mitnick Freedom Countdown Clock effective immediately. If you have the clock on your site, please download the new one to reflect this change.
