Reason No. 2,061why reality TV is the downfall of society comes from why rapper T.I. was returned to federal prison: Because his luxury bus ride to his halfway house, shown above, included his manager and a TV producer, who weren't authorized to travel or conduct business with him. They were discussing a new reality series and a book, according to the Department of Justice incident report. TMZ isn't buying the unauthorized entourage report, citing T.I.'s legal team, which says that was trumped up because federal prison officials were angry with T.I.'s choice of ride out of Arkansas. Either way, put down that remote control and help create space in America's prison system.
Reality TV can send you to prison; ask T.I.
