Lil Kim writes to fans from prison

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

LIL KIM, who just started her one-year sentence, has written a letter to her fans about the trauma of being locked up at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:

"No matter how good I am in here, this is no place for women to be - or anyone for that matter. It has its trying times and stressful moments - it's very unsanitary - and can be very depressing, especially around the holidays."

LIL KIM was also forced to remove her hair extensions and fake nails, which are banned in prison. Lil Kim reveals in the letter that she goes to church every Sunday and Bible study every Tuesday. She adds, "For the most part, all the girls on my (cell) block are cool (but) being away from your family and loved ones is the worst part of being locked up."
