The Texas Department of Criminal Justice announced that Warren Jeffs was released from the hospital and returned to prison on Monday, the Associated Press reported.
Citing medical privacy laws, prison spokesman Robert Hurst did not specify why he was hospitalized. However, he initially said he was being treated for a "non-life threatening medical condition."
Jeffs, 58, is the leader of the Fundamentalist Churc of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). In 2011, he was convited of sexually assaulting two of his child brides, ages 12 and 15.
He was admitted to Hospital Galveston on March 11.
In January, a former member of Jeffs' polygamist cult spoke to HuffPost Live to discuss her years of abuse and brainwashing.
"You're raised inside the FLDS as a girl to believe your responsibility is to have one baby per year to build your husband's kingdom because he is going to be a god," said ex-member Flora Jessop.
"All of my sisters would sit around and talk about how they wanted to have 30 babies and I swore I was never having more than two children because in my child mind I could grab one under each arm and run ... If I had three babies I would have to stand there and take the abuse they dolled out and I wasn't willing to jeopardize my children."
