Russell Simmons & Dr. Benjamin Davis Pissed @ TI’s Return to Prison

Russell Simmons and Dr. Benjamin Davis have been very vocal about how T.I. returning back to prison because of the mode of transportation that was used. Simmons tweeted:

Dr. Benjamin Davis, wrote a post on Global Grind’s blog, expressing his displeasure. Here’s an excerpt:

The recent breaking news that Grammy award-winning artist T.I., Clifford Harris, was rearrested and imprisoned again solely because U.S. prison authorities were upset that T.I. was transported inside a “shining luxury” tour bus from a federal prison in Arkansas after being released from the prison to travel to Atlanta to report as scheduled to a halfway house is beyond bizarre…..Since when is it a federal crime to travel inside a tour bus? But we all know the issue was probably not really the tour bus, whether it was a luxury bus or a pitiful dilapidated ugly minivan. The issue is disrespect verses respect. They are trying to break T.I.’s spirit. But that will not happen.
