Lauryn Hill checks into federal prison

Lauryn Hill has checked into a federal prison where she will begin her three-month sentence for tax evasion.

The singer was booked into the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn. at 11:15 a.m. EST, according to TMZ.

The prison is reportedly a “minimum security type facility” where the inmates live in “barracks type” housing.

Hill, 38, will apparently not be isolated but housed with the prison’s general population.

The Grammy winner will spend three months in prison, followed by three months of home confinement, for failing to pay taxes on about $1 million in earnings from 2005 to 2007.
