Lauryn Hill has reported to a federal prison in Connecticut to begin her 3-month sentence for tax evasion.
According to TMZ, the former Fugees singer/rapper will be housed in general population at the the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury.
The Grammy Award-winning entertainer pleaded guilty in June 2012 to evading federal taxes on $1.8 million earned between 2005 and 2007. In May 2013, Hill was sentenced in a New Jersey federal court.
In addition to serving three months in prison, Hill must pay a $60,000 fine. After she is released from prison, she will be under parole supervision for a year, the first three months of which will be spent under home confinement.
