TI May Get Early Release
After beginning his 366-day sentence for pleading guilty to illegal firearms possession and possessing a gun as a convicted felon in May, rapper TI may end up getting an early release to a halfway house to finish his sentence as soon as January 2010. A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons explained “If his full-term release date is in March, it’s not uncommon for an individual to be released to a halfway house to serve out the last portion of their federal sentence. There are a number of factors that need to be considered: if the person is not a danger to the community, the current offense, the individual’s prior criminal history, the availability of programs and space availability.” TI’s plea deal also includes 1500 hours of community service, a $100,000 fine, a year on house arrest and 2 years probation.
