Blake's Early Release

AMY WINEHOUSE's husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL will be released from prison in time to celebrate the New Year if he behaves himself, according to new reports.

Fielder-Civil is currently serving a 27-month sentence in the British capital's Pentonville Prison after being convicted on charges of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and perverting the course of justice. The charges stem from a 2006 assault on a London pub landlord.

The 26-year-old, who married Winehouse last year, was ordered to serve the remaining 18 months of his initial sentence when his pleas to Judge David Radford for time served were denied.

At the time Radford responded to the request: "No previous convictions, rather than exemplary good character - if what I read about him and the use of drugs is true," adding that Fielder-Civil had behaved in a "gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful" manner.

According to Britain's News of the World newspaper, Fielder-Civil will be released on 30 December pending his behaviour.

His mother Georgette says, "We're hoping that his probation officer will advise him to stay with us. If he's linked with drugs on his weekend visit he will lose the right to come out early. He will be released on December 30 if he's a good boy. I've told him to keep his head down."
