The latest sentencing news from MTV
MTV has this new report on the start of rapper TI's federal prison sentence. Here are some particulars:
T.I. turned himself in Tuesday (May 26) at an Arkansas federal prison, where the rapper will begin serving a 366-day sentence stemming from his 2007 arrest for attempting to illegally attempting to purchase firearms in Atlanta.
According to several reports, Tip is now in custody at the low-security wing of the Forrest City Federal Correctional Complex, where the rapper will circulate with the rest of the inmates without preferential treatment....
Last week, the rapper's lawyers had requested a two-week delay in the sentence, and hoped the rapper could serve his term at a facility closer to his home in Atlanta. That request was denied on Friday.

I am a Student and in my own opinion, I think he deserves his sentence. That's better than years in prison. In this span of time, he will surely realize what he did was wrong.
