Redmond O'Neal will be allowed to leave prison to attend his mother's funeral.
Despite serving a jail sentence for failing the terms of his probation on drug charges, Redmond O'Neal will be allowed to leave prison in order to attend the funeral for his mother Farrah Fawcett.

The service is scheduled to take place today.

From an article at People:
Farrah Fawcett's son Redmond O'Neal, currently serving a jail sentence for violating his probation on drug charges, will attend his mother's memorial service on Tuesday, his attorney tells PEOPLE.

"That's an absolute yes," says William Slattery about plans for the 24-year-old son of Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal to go to the funeral.

O'Neal will be allowed to leave the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, Calif., where he is enrolled in an inmate treatment program, for the invitation-only ceremony, which will be held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels at 4 p.m. PST in downtown Los Angeles.

Fawcett, 62, died after a long battle with cancer on Thursday.
