T.I. is continuing his work with Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms as part of a 25-member task force employed to repurpose the Atlanta City Detention Center, according to CNN.
On Tuesday (July 2), Bottoms issued a press release explaining the objective is to convert the jail into a “multi-faceted use center for wellness and healing, skills-building, economic mobility and crime prevention.”
She added, “This Task Force reflects strong local leadership, willing to help us progress towards a safer, and just city. It is my hope this building will serve as an epicenter for resources, education, and training for the community.
“With the help of these members, I am optimistic that what is reimagined will be the future of One Atlanta.”
Tip has been consistently vocal and active about criminal justice reform. In January 2018, Killer Mike and the Hustle Gang boss joined Bottoms’ transition team to tackle the city’s issues with crime, affordable housing, and to strengthen the education system.
More recently, he helped post bail for 23 non-violent inmates.
Harris has been commended and awarded for his community engagement. The Georgia State Senate honored him for his philanthropic contributions in March and he also received the ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award in May for his significant contributions to music and activism.
what t.i. needs to repurpose is his manhood after floyd mayweather had so much fun with his wife!
A snitch helpin run the jailhouse how ironic haha
Hey officer Tip
A snitch runnin the jail house who woulda thought
King of the South? Cmon man, even Ludacris was 10x better than TI. How did this dude ever get that title? He never was a truly great MC. Ludacris was.
Its time for white people to leave the inner cities and get back to a real community. This stuff has gotten so out of control that racist bozo rappers are becoming politicians and being given say so on important community decisions. These beta cuckold liberals are really killing america.
LOL, where was TI when Justin smoliette got caught trying to instigate a race war……
Jussie is the way you spell his name but you do not care about prison reform because you think your people are not locked up….wrong again…..White people need prison reform more than we do. More white people wre in jail than black….Honesly!!!!
I’ll tell you where he was, no where. Not even a tweet or an apology for talking negatively on a whole race for what smoliette did. TI only rants about events that fit his narrative, and this is who you want as the voice of culture?? You best stay on point when you quote me
“..TI only rants about events that fit his narrative..” isnt that exactly what you’re doing??..What have you done to impact prison reform? I’ll wait…
What’s my narrative? Why beat around the bush? If you want a debate, you best stay on point like you were told. TI had a lot to say when smoliettes story first broke, and when smoliette was exposed, TI was no where to be found. No integrity!! Say something about that. I’ll wait
That little man is trying his best to change his legacy stop putting him down.
Internet trolls have way too much time. Hope y’all have too much income too bc I didn’t know wack ass comments paid
Yeah, taking a couple of minutes at midnight to write a comment is far too time consuming! Nevermind that the average American spends hours each day on social media…
This Dindu rat again? Lol @ blaque hero’s I. America. Only blaque retards would prop up a bozo like TI
Well Dam everybody has a past. He who is without sin pass the first stone!!! Fact is he rectifing his past like wtf ANY OF YALL NAYSAYERS DOING FOR BLACK FAMILIES WHO SUFFER SO MUCH because of a slave makers made criminal justice system only those who affected by that understand and if you don’t understand or have empathy for you are the damn problem
Well, what we DON’T understand is your illiterate ass statement. No punctuation whatsoever. LOL. Listen, stop blaming EVERYONE else for your shortcomings and study, work hard. You obviously need to work on reading and writing. LOL. Illegal immigrants come here from other countries, they don’t speak the language, can’t legally work, and within a generation own homes, businesses and their kids are in college. Many of them are BLACK. Dummy. Please explain this shit to me.
I’m taking a giant shit right now, I’ll cut my comment short because I have to wipe my ass. Later guys.
Glad TI is onboard and the fact that they’re reaching out to him means a lot. Young people are becoming engulfed in the system from bad choices and it leads them to becoming true criminals. This bs made my lawmakers is so dumb. America has the dumbest lawmakers ever.
Yeah. T.I., who was arrested for silencers and machine guns as a convicted felon, who did time in prison, is the right guy for this. LOL. You’re a moron.
DOESN’T IT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT WAS ON THE CRIMINAL SIDE OF SOCIETY; SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY DID TIME IN JAIL; THAT HAS THE EXPERIENCE TO CHIME IN ON THIS? WHY WOULD YOU WANT A POMPOUS POLITICIAN WITH THEIR NOSE ALREADY IN THE AIR TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS? WOULD YOU GO TO A BRAIN SURGEON TO FIX YOUR CAR? WOULD YOU GO TO A MECHANIC TO OPERATE ON YOUR BRAIN? THE PROBLEM WITH OUR REPRESENTATIVES TODAY IS THAT THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND WHERE THEIR CONSTITUENTS COME FROM SO THEY DON’T FEEL THE NECESSARY EMPATHY FOR PLIGHT OF THE POOR. THINK BEFORE COMMENTING, YOU’RE MAKING YOURSELF LOOK RIDICULOUS.
hey why did my comment get deleted?
The main thing i notice is that black people really dont like being called out on their racism. It has been going unchecked for decades and they really thought they were in the right this whole time. Nope, you are just as bad, likely worse, than the people you claim to hate. Nobody is falling for your angry black woman syndrome or your race baiting any more and it makes you all so mad to get called out for what you are, hateful racist lowlives. Keep going you are helping the good people in this country wake up and break free of you parasites.
I guess if you want to find a use for a jail it is a good idea to find someone that don’t a lot of time there to do so. Should be very familiar with the layout.
*spent
You guys should allow editing of posts
He should bring Officer Ricky on board. As a former correctional officer with perfect attendance he knows the ins and outs of prison all too well.
Yea TI is right all the blacks did was rob or shoot another a black person. Let them out of jail
Haaaa you hear these white maggots on this site? Haaaa man y’all are absolutely ridiculous to come to this particular article and start race baiting. And one white prick is blaming black folks for race baiting? Get your hateful ass on somewhere and eat some apple pie. Leave this corrections of the correctional facilities, and a lot of other shit you white maggot assed mother fuckers have fucked up. Y’all have fucked up everything and y’all need people to get this shit straightened out. Get the fuck out of here pieces of horse shit
You have nobody to blame but your own racist hateful people. There are a lot of white people that have had your back and are flat out tired of being disrespected and generalized by you parasites. Now you have created a whole new breed of white people who have no sympathy for your nonsense cause we see it for exactly what it is. Blame your destructive racist attitudes.
Why are you even on a hip hop site in the first place? You don’t see black people going to your heavy metal or country sites. If You don’t like what’s discussed here stay off this site. You’re here because you’re afraid to tell black people how you feel to their face and you want your pathetic little nerdy whiny white voices heard. Stop hiding behind your keyboards clown. I work around a lot of whites and any one of them would tell you that I definitely speak my mind to their faces about how I feel. They hate me and I know it but you know what else? They won’t bring it to my face. When I’m getting on their case their faces turn red but that’s about it. Stop being a coward for once in your life loser
If happily bring it to your face. Moron. No one is scared of black people. Black people should be though, LOL. If I worked with you (more likely if you worked for me), and you said anything stupid like BLM, reparations or any of that Wakanda is real bullshit, I’d try to have a civilized conversation with you about how you are flat out WRONG! Numbers don’t lie, and all of that “woke” black bullshit just separates us as AMERICANS even more so than we already are. You’re part of the problem. Blaming everyone else instead of taking accountability and changing. This site is owned by Asians (Pakistanis I believe). Most of the staff is white or other. If 15% of the population was who bought hip hop, it wouldn’t be the #1 genre of music in the US. Dummy. Learn how to punctuate and use proper grammar. Maybe start by learning how to spell GED, then try for one. You say racist shit, a white guy (or Latino or Asian) calls you on it, then you try to assault him (in my cás you get taken down and choked out), then end up in prison. Sound familiar? Hahahaha. We Waz Kangz my ass.
