Kodak Black Hopes To Combine Rehab With Prison Sentence: Report
Kodak Black is making an attempt to get clean while serving out a four-year prison sentence. Bradford Cohen, the rapper’s attorney, requested to have his client moved to a facility that offers a Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), XXL reported Tuesday (Nov. 19).
Completing the 500-hour program could shorten the rapper’s prison sentence by up to a year, but there’s an obstacle standing in his way. The request may get denied if Kodak is charged for a drug-induced fight with a fellow inmate last month. A prison guard tried to break up the melee and Kodak allegedly grabbed his testicles so tightly that he required medical attention. Kodak’s lawyer claims that his client was drugged leading up to the altercation.
Kodak is currently locked up at the Federal Detention Center, Miami. During his court hearing last week, the 22-year-old rapper acknowledged that he made some decisions that he’s not “proud of,” and took “full responsibility” for his actions. Assistant Attorney Bruce Brown said that Kodak wasn’t “taking things seriously” and that it was “time for to give some tough love in the case.” It’s now up to the courts to decide if rehab will be included in his prison time.
Kodak was sentenced to 46 months after pleading guilty to federal weapons charges stemming from his arrest in May. The Florida native also faces a rape charge in South Carolina and additional weapons charges.
