Getting out of prison, this most-recent time, has been an adventure for T.I. Due to good behavior, the Atlanta rapper was released from prison early. T.I. provided his own transportation from the prison to the halfway house. However, his method of transportation was questioned.

Only one day after T.I. was released to the halfway house, he was sent back to prison. Initially, it was said T.I. using a tour bus to ride to the house was the problem. But, after Tip's camp released a photo of the police officers beside the bus, they said he was filming his reality show, upon getting on the bus, which is illegal.

One week since the release of that news, T.I. has been released from prison again. Now at the halfway house, T.I. was freed from prison with no problems. T.I. used the proper vehicle to leave the prison facility. Upon leaving prison, there were no cameras from his upcoming VH1 reality show, either.

August 2011 closed in an odd manner for T.I., who had been released from prison. An announcement was made, saying Tip would be released. The announcement was written off by T.I.'s lawyer, who said no one knows the date until minutes prior to the release.

However, T.I. was released from prison, as announced, and ready to get himself back in the game. T.I.'s freedom lasted for a few hours before he was carted back off to prison. The Grand Hustle CEO was sent back to prison because he rode a tour bus to the halfway house.

In the time since this story leaked, Tiny, T.I.'s wife, has spoken out against the police. She said the law enforcement had no problem with the tour bus. Several officers even took pictures beside the bus, sparking much outrage.

Once again, the law enforcement is back with another reason T.I. is in prison for another month. The reason the tour bus is suddenly a problem is because of T.I.'s upcoming VH1 reality show. The law enforcement said it was likely filming began right then, which is conducting business. Because of the law, T.I. cannot conduct business until he is completely free.

Having only been out of prison for a few months, T.I. found himself headed back. Now, the eleven month sentence is up and T.I. says he is out for good. Back in June, he released a new single, "We Don't Get Down Like Y'all." The single is said to be followed with a new album.

Initial reports said T.I. would be released from prison and into a halfway house on September 29. However, again due to good behavior, T.I. will be released on August 31.
