City Girls' rapper JT gets denied attempt to leave prison early and enter a halfway house, regardless of her argument that she has work to do and needs to be back in the studio for recording.

According to The Blast, JT expresses in the documents that, "she has earned 108 days good conduct time credit, and that as of July 12, 2019, she will have completed “15.6 months (12 months plus 3.6 months earned good time credit), thereby leaving 8.4 months of her sentence to be served.”

The rapper's lawyer has attempted to use her celebrity status in order to her out, stating that "is one of two girls that make up the rap duo City Girls. Beginning around her change of plea City Girls became a force in the music industry. They have grown an intense fan base and have developed relationships with the elite of the elite.”


He continued, “It is without hesitation that I can proffer that you will never hear from this Defendant regarding any type of crime, much less an economic one. Granting this recommendation will allow the Defendant to get back to the studio where she belongs.”

The judge proceed by denying the motion, based on wanting the Bureau of Prisons to make the decision. Ultimately, this leaves room for JT at a chance of getting out early.
