How long has rapper TI been in jail so far?
Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., also known as T.I. or T.I.P. / Tip, has just been sentenced to one year and a day in prison following weapons charges stemming from his arrest in October 2007. The rapper must present himself voluntarily to prison to start serving his sentence within six to eight weeks, the presiding judge ruled, but he will not do so before May 19 on account of several already made commitments, as MTV News can confirm. The arrest of the 28-year-old rapper was subject to a lot of media coverage, but not as much as his behavior before being sentenced was, though. Instead of facing more jail time, the artist and his legal team devised a plea that seems to have worked wonderfully for both parties, with the presiding judge calling it “experimental” but a tremendous success the other day, before passing the sentence. So, instead of more time behind bars, T.I. agreed to do community work, pay a fine, spend one year and a day in prison and enroll in several counseling programs once
