The Reason for R. Kelly's Solitary Confinement


This week it was reported that incarcerated, Grammy Award winning singer / songwriter, R. Kelly, had been placed in solitary confident for undisclosed reasons [click here if you missed that].

Apparently Kellz is in trouble because he had the former prison warden's personal phone number...

From TMZ
R. Kelly is under investigation for possessing a retired warden's phone number at his federal lockup in North Carolina ... and he's been placed in isolation for the duration of a probe of the incident, according to his lawyer.
Kelly's attorney, Beau Brindley, tells TMZ ... the R&B singer's problems began when he got involved in a mentor program to help guide other inmates, which was overseen by the warden at FCI Butner Medium 1.
Recently, the warden retired ... but before he left, he gave Kelly his cell phone number in case the convicted felon needed to reach out to him to seek advice about the mentor program.
Some time after that, Kelly's cellmate got busted with a mobile phone on his person -- which is considered contraband in prison.
The lawyer says prison officials searched the inmates' prison cell and found Kelly's notebook, in which the retired warden's phone number was written.
Prison authorities placed Kelly in the Special Housing Unit -- better known as the SHU -- while they investigate the circumstances surrounding the former warden's number appearing in the notebook, Brindley said.

Why didn’t he write the number in code? He’ll learn.

I laughed at him being a mentor. Some prisoners make excellent mentors for the young bloods in prison. The old heads can guide them on how NOT to return and have productive lives, but that ain’t R. Kelly. He won’t even admit his own mistakes so how is he gon’ teach someone else how to cope with theirs?
