In a statement to E! News, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) media relations said that it “does not provide information about conditions of confinement or internal security practices for any particular inmate.”
It added, “The BOP is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all inmates in our population, our staff, and the public. Humane treatment of the men and women in our custody is a top priority.”
The musician’s June 29 sentencing comes just nine months after a jury found him guilty on all nine counts of racketeering, bribery, coercion, enticement and sex trafficking against him. The charges involved six female victims, including late singer Aaliyah, who married Kelly in 1994 at the age of 15.
Kelly, who has remained in jail since his July 2019 arrest, has previously pleaded not guilty to all counts in the past. In addition to 30 years behind bars, he also received a $100,000 fine and five years of supervised release.
However, his legal battle is far from over. Kelly is set to go on trial again on August 15 as he faces child pornography and obstruction of justice charges in Chicago, per NBC News. He has denied the charges against him.
