According to The Atlanta Journal Constitution T.I. has entered into a plea agreement and will be sentenced today to one year and a day for weapons charges.

The extra day means T.I. can carve 15 percent off his sentence with good behavior. Under U.S. Bureau of Prison rules, inmates can earn such credit only if they are sentenced to longer than a year in prison. He is expected to get credit for the two weeks he sat in jail after his arrest and before posting a $3 million bond.

On Oct. 13, 2007 T.I. was arrested in a Midtown parking lot by federal agents for trying to buy machine guns and silencers. T.I. pleaded guilty to illegal firearms possession and being a convicted felon with a firearm.

T.I. has been documenting his days leading up to his imprisonment through a reality show on MTV, Road To Redemption. Watch a deleted clip below:

    Yo T.I keep your head up brother. What you did on your reality show was inspiring. I did a yr in prison, well actually 10 months had 2 months knocked off for good behavior. It won’t be that long. Just keep the LORD on your side and you will get thru it.

    15% amounts to what? 55 days of which he gets credit for 2 weeks already served… This isn’t his first bid so he’ll be home before we really get a chance to miss him… I’m just glad he’s doing his instead of crying about it… Looking forward to the post prison release because I know it’s gonna be a fire ass album…. Keep ya head up TIP!

    What did he need weapons for in the first place ? That boy is skinney but I am sure he has protection from the Real killers in there who will eat him for breakfast. He is not built to be a thug so he needs to chill on trying to bring that image, The real hardcore people are doing 25 to life and are in lockdown 23 hours and at least twice as big as him. You would have thought he learned his lesson from a beat down by lil flip. I still like some of T.I.s music but he needs to be himself.

    We all make decisions in life. Some good, some bad. T.I. made a bad decision, although his reasoning is not totally ridiculous he will do his time and be alright. What I wonder is… Will he continue with his show once he gets out or was that a front for the judges and those watching him before his sentencing. If he continues his work with troubled teens I will then believe he is real and true to redemption. Can’t wait to see. He helped a few of those teens and I hope and look forward to his show continuing after he is released. Doubt it though, something tells me that whole thing was a stunt for the cameras and the court system.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/prettynsweet757/ prettynsweet757

    for some that think they know he snithed…well sorry to say he didnt if you look at the facts in front of you, you would know how he got 1yr in jail..A. he is a rapper b. he did C.service c. 3million bond.. if he had serviced his 30yrs that would come to the amount of 3million… he also will be on house arrest for 7months when he gets out. in all he is really doing 30years.. POINT TAKIN if it was of us on the street we would be doing 30years because MONEY TALKS>>>> if you think you know the streets live in them first! oh yes and add s**t up (JJACK5 & bstman-handsdwn)

    why black folks always stick up for the ignorant ones? Dont you know we need to leave the dumb ones behind to move on to a better echelon. Every time a dumb ass does something stupid, we have a million idiots trying to down play their mistakes and act like its not a big deal.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Diamond1Mami/ Diamond1Mami

    well i think that it is great that he jus got a year and 1 day because the 30 years he was facing was too long from his wife and adorable children. T.I. was wrong for what he did but we all do make mistakes and he owned up to his and he is eeven trying to help others so they wont be in that situation. The media likes to blow things out of proportion liike the rihanna and chris brown situation, when it was bobby and whitney everybody thought it was funny and they laughed or whatever and so for Ike and Tina, i dont see what is so different with all of them and why does the media care about certain ppl. like in biggie song the more money you come across the more problems you see.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lady_sensual/ lady_sensual

    Famous people always get away with everything! If it was a regular person they would have got the 30 years. He should get the same time as anyone else! Why defend a famous person, they sure would not defend you if you were in the same position. Who knows what he was going to do with those guns. He should have thought of his hids before not after. he is not fooling anyone with that community service s**t. If i did that and did community service, does it make it ok. Yes everyone makes mistakes. Regualr ppl have to pay for thier mistakes, so should he. That is a slap on the wrist.

    Its really not for us to judge. Let’s be glad that he wasn’t able to purchase the guns and contribute to all of the unnecessary gun violence and killings that are plaguing us. I personally don’t want to see another one of our black men go to jail; famous or the average joe.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/niceandsmooth77/ niceandsmooth77

    WOW!!! 1 year?Lets see he sells guns,not just regular guns that you can buy from a gun store but MACHINE GUNS that you cant buy at a gun store.On top of that he is a CONVICED FELON NO GET OUT JAIL FREE CARD FOR NO FELONS.Now T.I. only gets a year because he is a rapper and you best believe he gave up some infomation(aka snitch).I am not saying dog the man because he messed up just and should have treated like anyone else.he just another SUPER STAR WHO PAID FOR HIS JAIL TIME.LUCK HIM

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ebonyblack33/ ebonyblack33

    The way I was raised to see this is, as a blessing. This is HIS blessing and you don’t know what he’s going to do with theis blessing. He will chop off about 2-3 months of his sentence with all his perks but for real…that’s his business and I’ma say right now, If it keeps me closer to my family and friends I would sell out too especially if I don’t owe that person anything in the first place! Psh some people and their mind states make me laugh… I’m sure he’s grateful that God keeps savin his behind everytime he messes up…And, just because you’ve never seen it happen doesn’t mean that “regular” people don’t get away with a “slap on the wrist”..it’s all politics anyway.

    Yeah he should take heed to this and leave the guns alone. I don’t know why he felt like he needed to do that anyway, he’s rich. Where is he supposed to serve his year at? He’s fortunate because, most people wind up doing 7 to 10 especially if they are a felon.

    You know TI made a dumb decision, but I am impressed with how he’s handling it and using his mistake as a very public lesson to the young boys out there who want to follow everything they hear in the rap lyrics. I’m GLAD he got a year and a day because it also shows these kids, you can apologize and act nice after you’ve messed up, but you still are going to have to face the music and deal with the consequences of your actions. I hope time passes quickly for him, and he comes out with the same positive attitude and mission he’s been on since this “Road to Redemption” project.

    well, his friend was shot and his brains was in the cieling. the man was scared for his life. He didn’t have a choice but to carry a gun. The one time he needed a gun he didn’t have one. But you know, he has learned his lesson and his handling it exceedingly well. Looks like he regrets it now that his family has expanded and having a infant at home..He’s learning as he gets older.

    why is that the ones that admit to being wrong are the most prosecuted as opposed to the ones that try to rationalize the foolishness?t.i. hasn’t done anything worse that the ones that haven’t gotten caught.is that o.k.?…. no. is it right? …no. is it even fair?…no. but before we go into a whole other “production” of what yet another rapper has done,listen to his latest album and understand that at the very least…he has a little bit of a clue of the concept of consequences.by the by….big huge t.i. fan…and what?!?!?!?!?!

    Some of you black planet members don’t even have a heart. Some of you failed to realized this man bought these weapons because of the idiots who shot and killed his friend are still on the loose. He was being protective of himself and his family. Some of you do not understand the life that these celebrities are living and it’s not a good one. All that glitz and glam that you all see on BET is a front off camera it’s a totally different story. How about some of you walk outside today and see one of your bestfriends get killed and you know the people who has done it are still out there free. Now you tell me what will you do?

    Peace and love– Mac

    My heart goes out to TI and his family. I don’t think that man should spend any time in jail. He has done so much good in changing certain people’s lives. People make mistakes and all that matters is what you learn from those mistakes that counts. What good is it going to do by putting this man in jail? He could be more useful out here by being a positive role model. TI will always remain in my heart and I will always be a fan. Love you TI.

    THE MAN IST PERFECT!!!HE’S ALREADY MADE THAT POINT PAINFULLY CLEAR!!WHY IS EVERYBODY SO JUDEMENTAL?? I BELIEVE HE IS A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT HE HAS REALIZED HIS MISTAKES FOR THE LAST TIME AND KNOWS NOW THE BAD DECISIONS YOU MAKE ARENT JUST AFFECTING YOU BUT, ALSO YOUR FAMILY AND THE PPL AROUND YOU.POSITIVE ROLE MODELS ARENT PPL WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW ALL THEIR LIVES,THEY ARE PPL WHO HAVE DONE WRONG AND HAVE A STORY TO TELL SO THAT OTHER PPL (PREFERABLY THE YOUTH)WILL NOT MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKES.SHANGO..SMDH @ YOU! YOU SEEM LIKE THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT HAS AN UNUSUALLY LARGE BRANCH UP UR ASS…TO EACH’S OWN BUT, EVERYBODY HAS A GUILTY PLEASURE…YOU MAY HAVE NOT BEEN TO JAIL OR BOUGHT A GUN OR HIT A WOMEN OR DONE DRUGS…WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THOUGH?? BECAUSE IF YOU CAN HONESTLY SAY YOU’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG THEN YOU MUST BE A SAINT.

    I think T.I. knew what he was doing when he did it. Now I feel that he understands the reprocussion. I think this is the best thing for you. I believe you were meant to go to jail and and make this show Road to Redemption to help save young lives. I do believe you are positive role model and have and will conitinue to do good things. Keep ya head up. It’s nice to see someone famous take responsibility for their actions.

    They hate you cause they aint you.

    well i got to chime in on this tip issue,evrybodys talkin like t.i. was a victim in this,and that his being sentence is some immaculant conseption of his apiphany of his life.so he gets on tv with this kangaroo reality show where he helps kids to change their lives,bulls**t and im sorry people but im not feeling and im a t.i. fan but the truth of the matter is why was it only when t.i. was caught and facing some real time in prison that he finally had this change of heart so to speak.why not when you were ballin outta control talkin f**k lil flip riding threw texas lookin for flip and talkin motivation were not ready to motivate then,why when you get in trouble you wanna show you a stand up guy.i aint buyin it and people yall shouldnt either.

    Creeper113,you do have the right to speak freely about anything in America.But you really didn’t have to come off so cold.T.I.has been helping people for a long time now.So the reality show was just a small measure of what he does.I refuse to speak on the Flip Issue,I do know what that was all about because my close friend in the rap business laced me up on that when it occured.Flip is a real mark a..because he’s dirty when it comes to drama now he’s trying to come out with a new ablum now that T.I. is going to be locked up.Nobody wants to hear a c.d.full of hateing.I know he’s going to have something on it for T.I.If it wasn’t for the haters we wouldn’t be reconized so keep your head up and big ups to all of the hater’s here in Houston we love you because if not for the hater’s no one would know who’s who.

BULLSHYT THATS WAS THE LIL P***K GET. HE TALKED S**T BOUT TOATIN BIG GUNS SOO NOW HE FACIN THE CONSEQUENCES FOR TOATIN BIG GUNS… PLAIN N SIMPLE…. HE TALKED ABOUT HOW HE RAN S**T IN PRISON AND HOW HE AINT AFRAID BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS PRISON S**T SCARED HIM STRAIGHT. IF YALL PAY ATTENTION TO HIS SONGS RIGHT BEFORE THE WHOLE ENTIRE ISSUE STARTED AND THEN AFTERWARDS.. YOU WOULD SEE HE PURPETRATING A FRAUD.

    Its all a publicity stunt. Rappers can rap about guns, drugs, killin, and ect. and half of them have no experience in doing such things. Even if they have or havent no body knows all the info you have is based on what their word is. How many rappers have you seen go back to their old neighborhoods and walk down the street ? or without personal bodyguards or police at that ? As far as him telling people not to do this and not to do that its not about feeling sorry for him like a previous person said. its about the media and we all know once the media turns on you then so does most of your fans. but theres a bit of contradiction in all of it. 1 year is a slap on the hand what is there to feel sorry about?
