<strong><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank">Lil Wayne</a></strong><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank"> </a>was not released from prison this morning as anticipated and is still behind bars at Rikers Island correctional facility.</p>
<p>As previously<strong> <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/11/03/lil-wayne-given-post-jail-restrictions/" target="_blank">reported</a></strong>, Wayne was scheduled to be sent home from prison today after serving an eight month sentence for weapons possession.</p>
<p>According to Weezy's lawyer James Tilson, the rapper was then scheduled to go to Arizona within 72 of his release and fill out documentation to start his 36-month probation term for a separate drug paraphernalia case.<br />
Those plans are on hold now that Rikers Island prison guards confirm that Wayne is still incarcerated.</p>
<p>Officer Carl Carabello told<strong><em> MTV</em></strong> news early Thursday that Weezy won't be free till Friday and his prison time was miscalculated.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“H</strong><strong>is time was miscalculated. He owed, he owes one day of ‘good time,' so it's gonna be another night.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Carabello added that<strong> “good time” </strong>is reduced when an inmate runs into trouble behind bars<strong>. </strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“If you get an infraction in jail, they'll take away ‘good time' — time that you accumulated for good behavior.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Lil Wayne's additional time behind bars may be due to an incident when he was found with music contraband.</p>

After saying he was writing his last letter before his November release<a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank"> <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> </a>has penned a new letter to his fans from his current location in the bing, on Riker's Island.</p>
<p>In it the rapper details his daily routine, explains his latest situation and gives some of his post-prison plans.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>What's poppin?!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>By now I'm guessing that you all have heard about my recent relocation to the bing, which is punitive segregation. Basically, no T.V., no radio, no snacks/junkfood, and one phone call a week. This punishment has been handed to me for my earlier MP3 incident. I admit, I fu#ked up and now I must deal with the consequences. As I write this, I only have 25 days left, and it'll be even less than that when you read this. So honestly, I'm fine. </em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/waynegreen1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60520" title="WayneGreen1" src="http://hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/waynegreen1.jpg" alt="" width="348" height="274" /></a><br />
</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Obviously, this gives me a lot of time to myself and a lot of alone time with my thoughts, which can be creatively dangerous. I do miss being able to hear from my family everyday but once a week will have to suffice. To them, I apologize. I'm still able to receive mail so reading and responding is still a huge part of my day. I'd like to thank everyone that sent me B-Day cards and wishes… that was terrific. You all are wonderful, simply wonderful.</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/waynegreen2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60521" title="WayneGreen2" src="http://hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/waynegreen2.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="320" /></a><br />
</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Well anyways, I just wanted you all to know that I'm good and I'll be good! But at the end of the day, </em></strong><strong><em>I did it all for music</em></strong><strong><em>!!! By the way, thanx for downloading the </em><em>I Am Not A Human Being</em><em> album. And if you haven't done so already, please do! And if you have, do so again! When I get out I'm going to put the album in stores and shoot more videos for it. Which songs should I shoot videos to? </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Also, we will be adding bonus songs and packaging the new </em><em>Nino Brown</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>DVD with the in store album! You're welcome.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Talent is best nurtured in solitude… Be home soon!<br />
…Dreaming of being in Greece.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>As previously <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/10/07/lil-wayne-pens-final-letter-from-jail-99999/" target="_blank"><strong>reported</strong></a>, the Young Money head will be in solitary confinement for the rest of his stay behind bars and last week asked fans to stop sending him mail because they were becoming a fire hazard.</p>
<p>Weezy is scheduled to be released November 4.</p>

<strong><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank"> Lil Wayne</a></strong> will spend the remainder of his jail sentence in solitary confinement over a previous infraction for contraband.</p>
<p>As previously <strong><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/05/12/lil-wayne-busted-for-%E2%80%9Cmusic-contraband%E2%80%9D-behind-bars/" target="_blank">reported</a></strong>, the Young Money head was caught with an mp3 charger and headphones in May, a violation of Rikers Island rules.</p>
<p>Now in the final month before his release Wayne is receiving his punishment and could spend 23 out of the 24 hours in a day, alone.<br />
According to <em>The New York Daily News</em>, he will be confined to a “punitive segregation” cell known as “The Bing” leading up to his release on November 4.</p>
<p>A corrections department source tells them,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>"He's not in an area where he is mingling with other inmates - ever."</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The <em>NYDN</em> reports that priority for punitive-segregation cells is given to inmates who commit violent infractions, so Rikers officials shipped Weezy off to The Bing when an opening became available.</p>
<p>Correction Department spokesman Stephen Morello confirmed that Weezy's been transfered to punitive segregation  and will now be limited to only one phone call a week.</p>

As <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank"><strong>Lil Wayne</strong></a> continues his stay at Rikers Island correctional facility, more details on his treatment have surfaced.</p>
<p>As previously reported, a female prison guard was reprimanded for “spending additional time” with the rapper while another was fired from the correctional facility to trying to steal a glance his way.</p>
<p>Now local New York newspaper, <em>The Village Voice</em>, reports that the rapper is receiving VIP style treatment in the form of outside food and extended visitation time.</p>
<p>According to the paper, when Wayne's visitors arrive at Rikers, they are picked up in a separate car by an official who drives them to the Eric M. Taylor Center where they are allowed to stay for longer than the hour permitted by policy.</p>
<p>Additionally Wayne has been reportedly tipped off by guards about upcoming searches for contraband and receives food from the Jackson Hole restaurant and a nearby pizzeria.</p>
<p><em>The Village Voice</em> also reports that a prison guard barricaded herself inside a locker room last week and demanded to see the rapper.</p>
<p>As previously<a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/05/12/lil-wayne-busted-for-%E2%80%9Cmusic-contraband%E2%80%9D-behind-bars/" target="_blank"> <strong>reported</strong></a>, Wayne was busted for music contraband after being found with an i-Pod in May.</p>

A second guard at Rikers Island Prison is being accused of giving rapper <strong><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank">Lil Wayne</a></strong> preferential treatment.</p>
<p>As previously <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/04/29/rikers-island-prison-guard-fired-for-spying-on-lil-wayne-files-lawsuit/" target="_blank">reported</a>, a Rikers Island guard filed a lawsuit against the institution in April after she was fired for allegedly trying to sneak a peek at the rapper while he was in holding.</p>
<p>Now a second official is being reprimanded, this time for “spending extra time with the star.”</p>
<p><em>The New York Post</em> reports that Capt. Latanya Brown was questioned by the Corrections Department after officials believe she allowed Wayne to stay in his cell while other inmates were made to leave their bunks and report to the recreational area.</p>
<p>Rikers says they have a zero tolerance policy for officers who give preferential treatment but famously had a guard resign after a favoritism scandal linked to rapper Foxy Brown.</p>
<p>In 2006, guards reportedly allowed Foxy to wear makeup, watch television, and accept outside food and clothing.</p>

<strong><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank">Lil Wayne</a> </strong>has penned a new letter from behind the walls of his Rikers Island Prison cell.</p>
<p>The Young Money head has consistently released letters to his fans including one where he <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/07/14/lil%E2%80%99-wayne-pens-another-letter-to-fans-from-prison/" target="_blank">praised Nicki Minaj and Drake</a> for winning BET awards and one where he <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/07/20/lil-wayne-writes-his-reaction-of-lebron-james/" target="_blank">weighed in</a> on Lebron James' decision to join the Miami Heat.</p>
<p>Now he's back with a new memo where gives fans an update on his status and sends out some very special shout outs.</p>
<p>Released to his <strong><em><a href="http://weezythanxyou.com/" target="_blank">WeezyThanxYou.com</a> </em></strong>blog and titled “Just Another Day” Weezy  details his day-to-day life from "kicking a** in Uno” to working out.</p>
<p>According to Wayne although he's working on his fitness behind bars <strong>“don't expect him to look like Hercules."</strong></p>
<p>Uhhh.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“What's poppin?!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Me, I'm good, figured I'd update my glorious fans again…Well ain't nothing going on in here but the time, which seems like it's taking forever. I'm trying to make the most out of every second tho, mentally….Last night, I kicked ass in UNO!..Gotta stay hydrated….though it's hot, I still work out. Now don't be expecting me to look like Hercules when I get out, but I should be a little bulky. I guess.”</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Weezy also offered some advice to Chris Paul of the Charlotte Hornets, advising him to team up with Kobe and The Lakers. He also sent a shoutout to the newly released from jail Lindsay Lohan and assured fans that his new projects <em>Nino 3</em> and <em>I Am Not A Human Being</em> would be out soon.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong> Anyways, please remember to always check for your name in the “thank yous”. I'm always reading letters and responding. Off the subject but hey Chris, I think you should team up with Kobe! Go Lakers! Hey Lindsey, glad it's over doll. I should have written her huh? Young Money, you're the best I ever had. Look out for <em>Nino 3</em>, and <em>I Am Not A Human Being</em>. Coming soon."</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Before signing off, Wayne sends out special shoutouts to his four children. He shouts outs his oldest child Reginae—the daughter of Toya Carter, as well as Lil Tunechi Jr.(Dwayne Michael Carter II)—his son with Sarah Vivian, Kam—his son with Lauren London and last but not least baby Neal—his son with Nivea.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong> Mother, I love you. Nae, you're my angel. Lil Tunechi Jr., you're the man. Lil Kam, you're the best heartbreaker. Lil Neal, you're the littler meatball.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I love you all!</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite being incarcerated at Rikers Island prison in New York, <strong><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/lil-wayne/" target="_blank">Lil Wayne</a> </strong>has just been sentenced for a drug charge in Arizona.</p>
<p>As previously <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/06/20/lil-wayne-pleads-guilty-to-drug-possession-in-arizona/" target="_blank">reported </a>Lil Wayne pleaded guilty earlier this month to one count of possession of a dangerous drug stemming from a 2008 incident in Yuma, Arizona where authorities found cocaine, ecstasy and a loaded handgun on his tour bus.</p>
<p>Now after deliberation a judge granted him three years probation which he will begin immediately after he's released from prison in November.</p>
<p>Lil Wayne's guilty plea was <span id="more-46379"></span>part of a plea deal with prosecutors that dropped additional charges of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia.</p>
<p>Wayne's Arizona attorney James Tilson says he‘s pleased with the verdict and told <em>Reuters</em>,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“We're quite glad that we were able to wrap everything up. It's a favorable plea agreement that will allow Mr. Carter to pursue his career."</strong></p></blockquote>
