Lauryn Hill Sends Message From Prison

As we have learned earlier, Lauryn Hill reported to prison earlier this month, where she is currently serving a three-month sentence for tax evasion. She has received a lot of mail from fans and supporters ever since. Accordingly, she took time to express her gratitude for the words of encouragement that reached her in a letter on her Tumblr page. She assures the world that she is doing well and has been treated favorably. She is serving her time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, described as a “minimum security type facility” where inmates live in “barracks type” housing.

Ms. Hill has received a lot mail, and would like to let everyone know that she is doing well. She also asked me to pass along this message:

“I have known since very young to look for the purpose and lesson in everything, including the trials. Although it has taken some adjustment, I cannot deny the favor I have encountered while in here, and general warm reception from a community of people who despite their circumstances, have found unique ways to make the best of them. Thank you for the letters of concern and well wishes that I receive in the mail every day. Although I may not be able to write everyone back, please know that they have been received, read, acknowledged, and appreciated. With Love back, MLH”
