MTV News is live on the location at Rikers from where Lil Wayne was supposed to be released early in the morning today (Thursday). However, the latest update is that his time was miscalculated and would have to spend approximately one additional day in prison.
“His time was miscalculated. He owed, he owes one day of ‘good time,’ so it’s gonna be another night,” Officer Carl Carabello said Thursday as MTV News awaited the New Orleans lyricist’s release outside the rapper’s jail. Carabello added that “good time” is reduced when an inmate runs into trouble behind bars. “If you get an infraction in jail, they’ll take away ‘good time’ — time that you accumulated for good behavior.”
Shout out to everyone who glorified his prison term. Shrugs.
Update: He has been released
