Tory Lanez’s Prison Sentence Continues At New Supermax Security Facility, General Population Reports False

by

Earlier this week, Tory Lanez fans were happy to hear rumours of the father of one being released from prison. Not long after the gossip hit the internet, the artist’s dad hopped on Instagram Live. He came with disappointing news, confirming that Lanez is still behind bars. It was previously reported that the “Say It” hitmaker has been mingling with the general population at North Kern State Prison after spending his first weeks there mostly isolated. However, journalist Meghann Cuniff is now disputing that chatter with receipts proving that Lanez has actually been relocated to a newer facility with even higher security measures.

“Just FYI because people are asking, this isn’t true,” the crime report clarified on Friday (October 13) morning in response to a @DailyLoud tweet about the embattled star. “Tory Lanez was moved to the California Correctional Institute,” Cuniff continued. “[It’s] a state supermax prison that is not North Kern State Prison. Reports that Lanez was moved to general population at North Kern are false.”

Shortly after that, Cuniff shared a screenshot confirming that Lanez “is being housed at CCI” from a CDCR employee. “[CCI] is in Tehachapi, about 85 miles southeast of Kern,” she noted for curious followers. “It’s designated as a supermax prison, so ‘general population’ there is not quite the same as general population elsewhere.” Last month, the Toronto native’s legal team suggested that he aspires to have a “normal” experience while serving his sentence, hence the desire to mingle with other inmates. Due to his new home’s strict rules, though, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be making too many close friends.

Prior to today’s Tory Lanez update, it was revealed that the Canadian remains persistent as ever in fighting for bail. Despite being rejected by a judge last month, his legal team resubmitted an application with “nearly identical” arguments to those that kept him behind bars in the past.

This weekend reports alleged Tory Lanez is fearing for his life since relocating to North Kern State Prison. In his latest mugshot, the embattled artist looked far less put together than normal. His hair appears to be lifting, and his skin missing its usual glow. Since being transferred, Lanez has been kept away from other inmates due to his celebrity status. This means he receives frequent guard check-ups and escorts to and from his meals. According to TMZ, the Chix Tapes hitmaker wants to be treated like any other inmate.

Attorney Ceasar McDowell tells the outlet that his client surprisingly wants to be kept in general population. In fact, he’s actually confident about his chances for fitting in with fellow prisoners. “We’re told [Lanez] has absolutely no apprehension about his safety… As McDowell explains, [he] thinks he can handle himself,” the outlet explains. Thankfully, the Toronto native has people in his life who briefed him on prison life before his sentence began. Additionally, his natural confidence will surely help on some level.

Apart from human interaction, the performer’s lawyer also shared that Lanez is seeking to speed up his rehabilitation process by engaging in programs and utilizing resources that are more easily accessible to those in gen pop. As far as fear goes, the one thing that the “Say It” hitmaker worries about is reportedly losing contact with his loved ones. At LA County Jail he was able to make phone calls whenever he pleased. For the next 30 days, however, he’s being held at the “reception center.” Here, he can only receive calls from his legal team.

After that period of time elapses, the entertainer will have inmate orientation, where we’ll find out what his future plans for housing are. Both Tory Lanez’s fans and haters are curious to know more about what life in prison has been like for him so far. Should he be granted a spot in general population, the father of one will be putting himself at risk to some seriously gruesome potentials.
