Well, it’s that time. Last year, Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted gun ownership. This morning, he’ll be formally sentenced to a year in prison, based on a deal he struck with Manhattan prosecutors. After he officially enters his guilty plea this morning, he’s expected to turn himself in and immediately begin his prison term, as MTV explains.

That MTV piece explains what could face Wayne in prison: He won’t have to cut his hair, he won’t get to keep an iPod, he may have to serve some work duties, and he may or may not be transferred into an upstate New York facility. With good behavior, he could be out in as little as eight months. Still: Prison. Lets hope that Saints Super Bowl victory keeps him going for a while.
