The former Rutgers student convicted of using a webcam to spy on his roommate was released from jail Tuesday after serving 20 days of a 30-day sentence.

Dharun Ravi, 20, reported to the Middlesex County Jail on May 31, 2012, after choosing to serve his time while the case is appealed.

Warden Edmond Cicchi told The Associated Press that Ravi was in line to be released Tuesday, 20 days after he reported. Like other inmates with that length sentence, he began with five days of credits for good behavior and five for working.

The warden said Ravi has not lost any of those credits.

Ravi's roommate, Tyler Clementi, committed suicide days after Ravi saw him on the webcam kissing another man.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
