R. Kelly Is Happy to
Be in Solitary Confinement Kelly was arrested again
for sex crime charges. The 52-year-old singer is currently
behind bars after being denied
bond by a judge earlier this week. He told his lawyer, Nicole Blank Becker, that he doesn't mind being in solitary confinement in federal prison. He feels safer as he's aware other
inmates know he's been accused of
sex crimes involving underage girls. However, his attorney told
TMZ that solitary confinement
could be problematic because he has no one to
lean on for support or help. Kelly is unable to read or write, so that makes even basic tasks such as what is on the commissary list incredibly difficult. Prisoners typically have access to the
phone at all times, but the "Ignition" singer can only
make calls for a total of 15 minutes each month.
