Every time the Jerry Sprunger artist leaves the cell, he has to be handcuffed.
That includes trips to the shower and to the garden.
The insider revealed that when the Talk to Me rapper wants to shower, he is escorted there by security guards.
When he wants some time outdoors, he’s the only one around.
The prison food consists of quite cheap, unhealthy dishes.
Breakfast may include servings of beef hash, hard-boiled eggs, hot cereal, milk and coffee.
Lunch can consist of peanut butter crackers, bologna or cheese sandwiches, and sugar-free drinks.
Dinner isn’t much better. The menu so far includes hotlink sausages, vegetables, coleslaw, red beans, rolls and canned fruit.
