Tomorrow, January 25, DMX will be released from jail, as Vulture confirms via his lawyer. DMX went to jail in January 2018 on a bail violation, after previously pleading guilty to tax evasion in November 2017. In March 2018, DMX was sentenced to one year in prison for felony tax evasion. Vulture reports that while his scheduled release date was January 27, the Federal Bureau of Prisons has a policy to release inmates on the weekday before their release date if said date falls during a weekend. He will reportedly be under supervised release for three years.
When asked how Xs was faring, lawyer Murray Richman said, “He’s coming home tomorrow,” and is poised to leave at 9 a.m.
“I spoke to him; he’s very happy,” Richman said. “He’s looking forward to being home. He’s never been hotter than now — people have been seeking him out all over.
Asked if X had any problems in jail, as celebrities can easily become targets, Richman said, “He’s terrific; he’s been terrific.”
Simmons’s release date is still listed as January 27, this Sunday, but federal prisoners may be sprung several days earlier if their scheduled release falls on a weekend.
When contacted for additional information, the Bureau of Prisons press office said his release date is January 27. The press office pointed to a policy document, however, that read: “Whenever possible, inmates will be released on the last preceding weekday if their projected release date falls on a weekend or legal holiday.”
