T.I. was officially released from an Arkansas prison on Tuesday (Dec. 22) having served six months for federal weapons charges.
As previously reported, the rapper will now have to spend two to three months in a halfway house near Atlanta, GA.
According to XXLMag.com, T.I.’s lawyer, Steve Sadow, indicates that his living conditions at the halfway house will not be as stringent as in prison.
“A halfway house is more along the lines of a residential dormitory,” he said. “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.
“It’s a restriction on your liberty, but it’s a way for you to re-enter into society and not be confined within a jail type institution 24-hours a day.”
Tip was originally sentenced to a year and one day for illegal firearms possession, as well as possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
