R Kelly Is Scared Of What Inmates Might Do To Him

Disgraced R&B icon R Kelly is reportedly facing up to 15 years imprisonment if convicted for new sexual charges. He made headlines sometimes last year when ‘Surviving R Kelly’ documentary series hit the screen.

R Kelly was arrested while taking his dog for a walk on additional sexual charges in Chicago and he has since been denied bond.

Kelly’s attorney, Nicole Blank Becker, has revealed to the publication, that during her recent visit with the singer in federal prison, he let it be known to her that he’s perfectly happy being in solitary, as he believes his life would be in “real danger” if he was to be placed with all the other inmates in gen pop.

Although Kelly feels “safer” in solitary, his attorney is saying that it will actually end up creating problems for him, as he has “no one to lean on.” In case you didn’t know, Kelly is illiterate, and the fact that he can’t read or write, makes “even the most mundane tasks super difficult.”

Being in solitary confinement also further isolates Kelly because of the lack of communication with the outside world he is granted, in comparison to those in gen pop.

While he only has access to a phone for a total of 15 minutes a month to speak with family and friends, inmates in general pop have access to the phone any time they want.
