SOHH.com reports that a deadly virus outbreak has occurred at the prison that T.I. was sentanced to. The viral outbreak has been described as gastrointestinal bug. Whether or not T.I.’s health is in danger is unknown at this time.
A number of inmates recently became ill and have been treated at the prison, said Traci Billingsle. The symptoms appear to dissipate within 48 to 72 hours, she said. “Swine flu is not suspected because these all are all gastrointestinal-related,” Billingsley said. Visits were suspended Friday. They will resume when medical personnel are certain there is no risk of exposure, Billingsley said. The prison in Forrest City is a low-security facility housing male inmates, including rapper T.I., who is serving a yearlong sentence on a weapons charge.
Also, visitors are not allowed at the prison at this time due to the outbreak. Read more here.
