Rent Parties Have Been Put On Hold
I’m avoiding Martin Luther King Blvd, Crenshaw High and Compton Mall because I suspect Da Hood is celebrating the release of T.I.
Although he’s not totally free to resume his hustle, just the fact that a prominent Hood figure has been freed from the unjust cage that binds him gives reason to pour a few sips out for the homie and spend some extra time with the baby mommas. Thank goodness it’s not the 1st of the month, if government checks were issued this week too BET would see a significant drop in their viewership.
T.I. has been released from a federal prison to an Atlanta, Ga. halfway house. He served nearly seven months of a one year and one day sentence at a federal prison in Arkansas stemming from a weapon charge. He was originally scheduled to be released on March 10, 2010. His lawyer told the xxlmag.com that:
“He’s on his way back to the Atlanta area. He has to report to a halfway house in Atlanta sometime this evening. And he will then spend somewhere between the next two or three months in a halfway house, ending his Bureau of Prison sentence.”
“A halfway house is more along the lines of a residential dormitory,” his lawyer continues. “You live within this house that is broken into areas for living, and you are permitted to leave during the day for certain reasons, of which would be employment, medical reasons. So it’s a restriction on your liberty, but it’s a way for you to reenter into society and not be confined within a jail type institution 24-hours a day.”
