Rapper T.I. Sentenced to 11 Months in Prison

Did he get brownie points for helping suicidal jumper?   

T.I. is headed back to jail. The rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was sentenced to 11 months behind bars for violating his parole after he was arrested on drug charges last month. 
T.I., who was found with drugs during a traffic stop last month, appeared before U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell in Atlanta, Georgia, on Friday to ask for leniency in his sentencing.
"I screwed up. I screwed up big time and I am sorry," T.I. said. "I'm truly and sincerely sorry. I don't want and I don't need to use drugs anymore. I want them out of my life."
But Judge Pannell was not moved. "I think Mr. Harris had had about the limit of second chances," he  said.
The 30 year-old rapper, who had been on parole after serving a year in prison on a weapons conviction, was found in possession of the drug Ecstacy during a traffic stop last month. He is expected to begin his latest jail stint on November 1.
