Grammy-winning rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris has reportedly requested additional time before reporting to jail next week and placement in a safer facility.

The Atlanta-based emcee reportedly made his request Thursday (May 21) afternoon.

Harris asked a court today to let him remain free while he seeks placement in a minimum-security prison closer to his Atlanta home. He claims prison officials miscalculated his criminal history. His lawyer called a 2003 incident a "scuffle" with a mall cop. A pre-sentencing report says T.I. has a "serious history of violence." (Fort Mill Times)

Tip will reportedly serve roughly ten months behind bars.

According to U.S. Attorney's Office Spokesperson Charysee Alexander, the rapper was indeed given credit for the 305 days of home confinement he served while awaiting trial in the case, but that has nothing to do with his prison sentence. The confusion may have stemmed from mixing the credit for home confinement with the prison sentence, which are separate terms, Alexander said. Once T.I. completes the prison term, he will still have to serve out the remainder of his home confinement, she said, which will amount to about two months. Alexander explained that, at best, according to federal sentencing guidelines, anyone who serves more than one year in prison is eligible for a 15 percent "good time" credit, which in Tip's case could shave almost 55 days off his sentence.

Early reports said the rapper would possibly face only 60 days in prison.

The rapper had faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each charge in his three-count indictment but Harris will be credited for 305 days of home detention he already has served after being charged, so his stay at the Forrest City prison likely will be only two months. R.D. Weeks, a spokesman for the Forest City, Arkansas prison, said Harris likely would be treated like any other prisoner coming into the facility and that each cell at the prison is double-bunked. He also will have the opportunity to use the recreation yard, as well as take part in counseling or participate in the one of the facility's 14 religious groups, Weeks said. (Associated Press)

The rapper is currently required to turn himself in at the end of the month.

The 28 year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford J. Harris Jr., will be serving his year-and-one-day sentence at the Forrest City low-security federal prison. Paperwork filed in his federal court case shows he has until noon on May 26 to report for his sentence. Prison officials did not immediately return a call for comment. (USA Today)

As of today, Tip will still be required to report to prison on Monday (May 26).

Yeah, nigga is scared, all that gangsta talk on TIP,m King...I remember i was watching a radio interview and some faggot like Ed Lover or Flex said that all rappers are fronting to be gangsta, and I think T.I is a real Gangsta

This nigga is a fed, he knows his gonna get his ass cut up for snithcing in the joint, thats why he was Min Security.

And Funny how nobody is now defending this clown, coz even dickryders now know that dude is a Fed, And his whole Crew is on the street watch,

What was he saying at the end of Swagga Like Fags Song wioth Gay Z, Gayne and Kangay? He said something like "Gangsta Rap extrodinary or some shit"

Well, if u a gangsta, than be one. Bitch!

This nigga ain't a man to me anymore. straight up BITCH for life.

Nigga need to turn himself in and stop delaying his prison time. WTF is this. You know how many niggas would want and deserves some extra time before they go to prison and this nigga act like a Paris Hilton.

He wanted to purchase machine guns and shit. He should be around niggaz like MS 13, Aryan brotherhood and all that. No minimum security for this shit. Don't give a fuck if he'll get raped or whatever up in there. He ain't innocent, he broke the law. He should take his sentence and everything what comes with it as a man but unfortunley he don't. Bitch ass nigga. No special treatment.

T.I. delayin goin to prison is funny, but why y'all niggaz keep sayin he snitched to get less time? The nigga is goin to prison for possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon. Gettin a 1 year sentence was part of his plea bargain along with 1500 hours of community service and a hefty fine.

Testifyin in court on the behalf of his dead homie is a totally seperate case and has nuthing to do with the gun charge.

Y'all cats need to squash that snitchin shit.

Well. I want nobody to die. But my point is people seems to forget that T.I. is actually the badguy. He says he's a real nigga so he got nothing to fear off.

All these niggaz took it like a man like DMX, Prodigy, Shyne and C-Murder.

13ubba said it right. I agree with him. Prodigy didn't cry. Plus we know Prodigy got sickle cel disease but he didn't use thats as a excuse.

T.I. is scared cuz he knew he did something wrong thats why he wants a minimum secuirty prison closer at Atlanta.

Flipperacci

If it has nothing to do with the gun charge then tell me why before he got busted he'd never would took thge stand in court? If he didn't helped the prosecution I doubt Hosea Thomas would got convicted.

If you a gangsta rapper or you respresent the streetcode you don't even tell on who did it if you know the person.
You know how many homicide could get solved that way if everybody would talk?
It's sad that his homie died. But don't forget he purchased machine guns. He would've never testified if it was up to him.

Flipperacci is a clown

Talkin shit hopin he'd get raped, what goes around comes around you dont wish nothin bad on no one son. If it was on the flip side what would you be sayin if you get the one gettin stuffed in a cell? thats what I thought junior keep acting tough and a know it all behind the computer screen and live your fantasy gangster life

BlackBauer

This is getting laughable to say the least

Padron Thomas is the one who testified against his own brother for a lighter sentence. T.I. was not even a suspect or facing any time in the case. Hosea would have been convicted regardless of T.I.'s testimony. To take it even further, it was ACTUALLY the Thomas brothers friend Mose Patrick-Brown who snitched because he went to the cops after Hosea and Padron paid him to keep quiet. Y'all cats keep forgettin about that. T.I. ain't no snitch.

The gun charge is a Federal case. Different state. Different jurisdiction. Different penalties. What the hell do a firearms charge in Atlanta, Georgia has to do with a murder case in Cincinnati, Ohio?

If y'all wanna call Tip a snitch just for kicks then cool. But when niggaz start callin y'all hero 50 Cennt a snitch y'all immediately git on y'all period.

I didn't said that I HOPED he get raped. I said I don't care. I mean if he didn't broke the law he didn't have to go to jail but he did.
It's easy to feel sorry for what you did but you gotta pay the price.

If you can't do the time. Then don't do the crime. I've never been to jail. Know why? Cause I can't do the time. I don't break the law. PERIOD!

Flipperacci

Yeah but apperantly that wasn't enough cause right after T.I. snitched dude got 66 years to life in jail. My point is. T.I. could pleaded the fifth if he was a real gangsta rapper. Did you see Busta telling the police about his friend who got killed while protecting him?

To me T.I. is a snitch. If he didn't testified against or kept his mouth shut dude wouldn't be getting 66 years to life even though he deserved it.

Plus don't forget the commercial he did for Crimestoppers atlanta. Pff I could call and give the police a lot of TIPS if I have to do what T.I. says.

naw its not that hes scarred of gettin shanked in there, because in a maximum security prison its nearly impossible to even start a fight, let alone get shank because your on constant lock down basically.
In a minimum security prison your more likely to get shanked. I think he doesnt want to be in total isolation for most of his jail time, and it will allow him to still conduct business easier then he would in max sec.
