Lil Wayne Sent to Solitary Confinement | Rolling Stone Music
Lil Wayne will spend the remainder of his prison sentence — 29 days — in solitary confinement after the rapper was found, for the second time, with music-related contraband. According to the New York Daily News , Weezy will spend 23 hours a day (until his scheduled November 4th release) in an isolated "punitive segregation" cell in Rikers Island prison in New York. He will still get an hour of recreation each day, but even that time will be spent isolated from other inmates. "He's not in an area where he is mingling with other inmates — ever," a Correction Department source said.
Back in May, Lil Wayne was busted for stashing contraband — non-prison-issue headphones and an iPod charger — in his cell. (A search of a neighboring inmate's cell uncovered the iPod itself.) The same items were found this time. The punishment comes a few days after Wayne revealed in a letter posted on his site that he only listens to sports talk and slow jams, since inmates are only permitted to listen to the AM/FM radio. "I can't live without my music. I needed my music. It's all good. I had to take my little slip up. I ain't trippin'. Players fuck up," Weezy said in an interview from prison a week after his contraband bust in May. Even before he went to prison, Wayne forecasted his current predicament by telling Rolling Stone that when he's in prison, "I'll have an iPod, and I'll make sure they keep sending me beats."
