After serving only seven months of his one-year sentence for a felony weapons conviction, T.I. was released from a federal prison yesterday.
According to E! News, Steve Shadow, T.I.’s attorney, says that the rapper will report to a halfway house in Atlanta for the remainder of his sentence.
“[A halfway house] is not unusual in the least; it happens across the board as long as the inmates are eligible,” Sadow said, noting that T.I. also got credit for time served in home detention. “They decided that three months in a halfway house would assist him with reentering society.”
At least T.I won’t be spending the holidays behind bars. I wonder if they put up a christmas tree in the halfway house.

Chris Brown has received an “extremely favorable” report from probation officials overseeing his felony assault case, a judge said.
Brown appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday (Nov. 19) to offer a judge his first progress report since being sentenced for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year. He talked and laughed with his lawyer before the hearing, which took less than 10 minutes.
The R&B singer is serving five years of probation and must attend domestic violence counseling and perform six months of community labor in Virginia.
Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, says Brown has already done 100 hours of community labor in Richmond, Va. Brown has also paid all of his court-ordered fees and fines.
Brown is due back in court for another progress report on Feb. 18.

Clifford Harris, aka T.I., could be spending the next year behind bars. He is facing weapons charges related to purchasing machine guns and silencers.
He says, “You shouldn’t take the things that I’ve gone through and the negative parts of my life and admire me for that,” Harris said. “If anything, admire me for how I’ve accepted responsibility for the part I’ve played in placing myself in these situations and what I’ve done to recover from it.”
If he ends up serving time, let’s hope the guys take it easy on him behind bars…maybe his fans should send him some soap-on-a-rope.
