Michael Douglas' son to be released early from prison

Los Angeles - Michael Douglas' son is set to be released early from prison.

Cameron Douglas, 35 - who is currently serving time at Cumberland FCI in Pennsylvannia for possession of crystal meth and cocaine with intent to distribute - is believed to be getting out a year earlier than his expected 2018 release date on March 18 2017, according to prison reports viewed by RadarOnline.com.

Cameron - who has been in jail since 2009 - is the Wall Street star's only child from his first marriage to Diandra Luker and was released from solitary confinement in the same prison earlier this year.

A source told Radar: "It's great news. Cam really isolated himself from everyone when he got into meth. He went to a dark place. But his family and friends are standing by him and hope he's serious about his recovery. He still has a chance to have a great life."

Meanwhile, Michael - who turns 70 this month - was reportedly living separately from his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, with whom he has two children Dylan, 14, and Cerys, 11, at the end of last year but the couple have since reconciled.

Catherine, 44, has previously opened up about the strain Michael's throat cancer diagnosis in 2010 had on the couple, describing herself as a "mess" after the her husband was misdiagnosed, "not once, not twice, but three times"
