Rapper Clifford “T.I.” Harris is currently serving his prison sentence in an Arkansas prison that has reportedly been hit with an unknown virus outbreak that has resulted in suspended visiting hours.
As of right now the rapper’s health condition is unknown. A source says the virus is reportedly spreading throughout the facility. The inmates have temporarily been suspended at the federal prisionin Forrest City because of an illness outbreak. The prison says visits have been temporarily suspended because of a number of inmates with a “suspected gastrointestinal virus.”
The prision has know idea how the inmates got sick and they don’t think it’s the swine flu. However, visiting hours will resume once the virus is contained.
“A number of inmates recently became ill and have been treated at the prison, said Traci Billingsle. The symptoms appear to dissipate within 48 to 72 hours, she said. “Swine flu is not suspected because these all are all gastrointestinal-related,” Billingsley said. Visits were suspended Friday. They will resume when medical personnel are certain there is no risk of exposure, Billingsley said. The prison in Forrest City is a low-security facility housing male inmates, including rapper T.I., who is serving a yearlong sentence on a weapons charge”.
In relatead news T.I. reported to the federal prison after the court imposed deadline to serve his weapon charge. A federal prison spokemen says, ” after the deadline that Harris was not listed in custody. It’s not clear if Harris will face any sanctions for apparently missing the deadline”. If this stands T.I. could face more than eight years in prison if he does not meet terms of his plea deal.
