AceShowbiz - Meek Mill will get a breath of fresh air after serving five months in a Philadelphia jail. City prisons spokeswoman Shawn Hayes said the rapper will be released from Hoffman House on Tuesday, December 2 afternoon.
Mill served prison time after violating his parole in a 2009 drug case. Judge Genese Brinkley ordered him to take etiquette classes and sentenced him to three-to-six month jail in July over an outburst at his parole office.
Meek's lawyers had attempted to release him from the sentence twice before but it was the petition submitted this week that got approved. Mill will serve another five years of probation after Brinkley ordered the parole time to be reset.
Mill's boss Rick Ross recently told Hot97 that the release was imminent. "I spoke to him and it may be five days from now," Ross said last week. "The big homie was sentenced to six months off the rip. We done got our hopes up a couple of times so I said I wasn't going to feed into that again. When he come home, he come home. At worst it won't be more than a month at this point."
