T.I. Prepares for Prison in Arkansas

T.I.

T.I. is going to serve his sentence in a prison in Arkansas. He’s currently partying hard down in Miami with his family and friends before he reports to the federal prison. If there’s one place to create wild memories before going away to prison, its South Beach. Pop the lid for more

T.I. will report to an Arkansas federal prison on May 26 to begin his one-year-and-one-day jail sentence for felony weapons charges, it was revealed Friday (May 15).

According to The Associated Press, paperwork filed in court shows that the rapper has until noon that day to report to the Forrest City low-security federal prison. T.I.’s lawyers had attempted to place their client in a location closer to his Atlanta home, to no avail.

In May, T.I. was sentenced to prison by a judge after his plea deal was accepted. As part of the plea, T.I. had to complete 1,000 hours of community service before sentencing, pay a $100,000 fine and agree to complete another 500 hours of community service after his time behind bars.

His sentence is the result of his October 2007 arrest for illegally attempting to purchase firearms. T.I. is a convicted felon and it is not permissible by law for him to own any guns.

“Although I am not thrilled about my next year and a day, I am pleased that I am beginning the process of putting this all behind me,” he said during a press conference inside the courthouse. “Thank you and I apologize to my family, to the young men, young women that I mentor. I hope that I can keep at least one, if not a million or more, from going down a similar path. I just want to say thank you.”

Maybe his fans and the rest of the hip hop community will realize that living like a real gangsta isn’t as cool at it looks in the music videos.

    Plies graduated from nursing school…

    anyway T.I. is an idiot because didn’t he just come out of jail a few yrs ago…i guess he didn’t learn his lesson the first f**kin time, he doesn’t really love/respect his family because A REAL FATHER FIGURE wouldn’t put his 54544268633784293 children through ths BS again.

  • WTF

    it aint no preparing…T.I. TAKE YO AS TO JAIL!

  • Jade Silver

    He’s been going to jail for a while now. If he had gone in, he’d be closer to getting out. Who is found guilty and still has all the luxury and time to run the streets before serving his time? I guess it does pay to be a gansta. Us ordinary people would be serving 20 years or more.

    Would they please send this clown to jail please I am so tired of looking at him if he was not famous they would of put him under the jail. If I was convicted I would wanted to go as soon as possible. Screw our money corrupted justice system. When freedom goes to the highest bidder.
