Technically, they are outside but they stay within the confines of the prison estate.
The Co Mayo-born lawyer featured in the RTE smash-hit documentary The Fugitive.One prison source said: “I would not be a bit surprised if he is out of here by early next year.”
His wife Brid, a former nurse, has stood by him and visits Lynn in prison on a weekly basis.
Prison sources say he has been talking about returning to Brazil where he was involved in the property business and lived in a luxurious house before he was arrested on a extradition warrant from the Gardai in 2013.
Lynn was held in a violent jail while he fought the attempt to extradite him.
