“The king’s baaaaack!” Rap star Clifford “T.I.” Harris is home from the Big House just in time for the holidays. The “Live Your Life” star has been transferred from an Arkansas prison to a halfway house in his hometown of Atlanta, according to his attorney Steve Sadow.
Sadow said prisoners sentenced to 366 days are eligible for a 54-day sentence reduction for good behavior. Once Tip completes his time in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons in late March, he will still have to finish serving just under 500 hours of community service and about 23 days of home incarceration.
“He was released this morning from his place of incarceration in Arkansas,” Sadow said in an interview Tuesday.
“As I understand it, 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 Buruea of Prison sentence,” Sadow continued. “A halfway house is more along the lines of a residential dormitory. 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, things of that nature, and you return to the halfway house in the evening. 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.”
T.I. served approximately six months of a one year, one day sentence for weapons
