T.I. is back behind bars. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ.com that the emcee checked in to a low-security, federal prison in Arkansas on Monday afternoon to begin serving his eleven-month sentence for a probation violation. A spokesperson for the prison says Tip was treated like any other inmate when he arrived, as he was processed, photographed, and given a bunk assignment. T.I. will reportedly be sporting a standard prison uniform which includes khaki trousers, a khaki button down shirt, and black shoes. The rapper will have access to a television room, and be allowed to make 300 minutes in phone calls per month.
T.I. was arrested in September after Los Angeles police found the drug ecstasy in a car that he and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, were riding in. Tip was on probation at the time for his 2007 arrest on weapons charges. He will not face charges in L.A. for September’s arrest, but Tiny was charged with misdemeanor drug possession.
