Ja Rule Out 1 Prison Into Another

Ja Rule gets out of upstate prison to serve rest of time in federal prison.

Today, Ja Rule was released from prison in upstate New York after serving time for his gun possession charges to directly be put back in Federal prison.

Ja is back behind bars after pleading guilty to his tax evasion charges  from 2004 to 2007, when he made over $3 million, and now is facing a 28-month sentence.

Below is a statement regarding Ja Rule’s legal situation by the Associated Press:

Ja Rule may have less than six months left and may be eligible for a halfway house, defense attorney Stacey Richman said. An order to pay $1.1 million in back taxes is one of the main reasons he wants to get back to work, she said.

“Many people are looking forward to experiencing his talent again,” Richman said.

Ja Rule, who went to the prison in Marcy in June 2011, is getting out at his earliest release date, state correction spokeswoman Linda Foglia said.

He had two misbehavior reports for unauthorized phone calls in February 2012 and had work assignments on lawn and grounds crews and participated in education programs, she said.
