Grammy-winner Lauryn Hill is serving a three-month sentence for tax evasion and writes a letter to her fans thanking them for their support.
Hill took to Tumblr to express her gratitude for all the moral support she has received from fans. Although she couldn't personally write the post, her team passed along the message and mentioned numerous fans in the update. Her reps wrote, "Ms. Hill has received a lot mail, and would like to let everyone know that she is doing well."
Hill's jail sentence began July 8 after failing to file nearly $1 million in taxes. MsInfo.TV reports that the Fugees singer/rapper has also been welcomed by fellow inmates. Her statement explains, "Although it has taken some adjustment, I cannot deny the favor I have encountered while in here, and general warm reception from a community of people who despite their circumstances, have found unique ways to make the best of them.”
According to HuffingtonPost Hill is in federal prison in Danbury, Conn. She is residing in an open dormitory-style living quarter and working maintenance, food service and/or landscaping jobs.
