Lil Wayne goes to Jail

Rapper Lil Wayne was sent to Rikers Prison in New York on his weapons charges.

He’s been sentenced to a year but will likely only serve about 8 months. Wayne will reportedly remain in private custody the entire time:

“He is going to be in protective custody, because of who he is,” his lawyer Stacy Richman said. "He did not want to, but the department of correction said it’s mandatory. He cannot be with other detainees.”
