Lil Wayne has been behind bars in Rikers prison since Monday. And prison officials are SNITCHING and giving intimate details of Weezy’s life behind bars. According to People.com, “Inmate Carter is in a category of housing that we call ‘general population/escort,” meaning that he has a protective captain with him whenever he leaves his cell/day room. Word on the streets is that a couple of the Ricky Ross correctional officers have been written up recently for treating Weezy like a celebrity *cough* when he is an Inmate *cough*. And have been warned of there recent behavior.
The prison official shared the following details:
• The Day Room In this common area, which he shares with 19 other inmates, Lil Wayne can watch television, play cards, read the paper or just socialize. Since the day room is within the housing area, he does not have an escort here.
• The Meals Breakfast is served at 4:30 a.m. Since a number of inmates will be going to court on any given day, the morning starts early for Riker’s residents. Lunch is served at 11, dinner at 4:30 p.m.
• The Clothes Lil Wayne will wear the standard institutional clothing: Green work shirt and pants, slip-on style sneakers.
• The Cell His six-by-ten space features a steel cot connected to the wall, a mattress, a sheet, a blanket and a pillow. There’s a sink and toilet in the cell as well, plus his personal property which includes the standard cup, razor, toothbrush and soap assigned to each inmate.
• Outside the Housing Area With his escort, Lil Wayne can leave the housing area for attorney visits, regular visits (he’ll get two per week with up to three visitors), religious services or jail-offered programs such as one that helps inmates transition back into society. While some inmates have work assignments in and around the jail, he will not because, “then you’d have to send somebody off to escort him every day,” says the official.
• Recreation One hour per day. The rapper’s facility features outdoor basketball courts.
• The Commissary He can buy snacks and toiletries from his Commissary account, which friends and family can contribute to online. Reports that he’ll have an ipod are untrue, though he can purchase a battery-operated AM/FM radio and earphones to listen to music.
